And they are wines that I will drink &#8211; so often with multiple-bottle purchases I cellar the wines and then never get round to drinking them until they are on their downward slope. All in, the cost for the mixed case was under \u00a390, which is superb value.<\/p>\n<p>Supplementary reading: Chris Kissack has written a really good review of a visit to PJ Druet <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thewinedoctor.com\/loire\/druet.shtml\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pierre-Jacques Druet Fiefs de Louys 2005 Bourgeuil, Loire<br \/>\n<\/strong>13% alcohol.

Just so drinkable, with no heaviness but plenty of interest. 90\/100<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I still buy wine, even though I could drink myself to oblivion on free samples.
