Chateau Kirwan it was a 96 or a 97 , cant remember but it was lovely :drink: I was recommended this at Château De Fère or Château d'Isenbourg in France, i can't remember but both of the hotels come highly recommended thumbsup
Its funny because I liked the wine so much that when I was staying at the Balmoral in Edinburgh they had a later vintage of this which was £100 and I thought I would give it a go and I was disappointed, especially as it only cost around £45 in France from what I remember :)

honestly i am not a fan of alsace/german wine in red or unless top but very pricey
whites are better they just can do reds and thats it :)
