I was not a fan of the '04 Rhys home (along with Leo)…

Steve,

2004 Home was my WOTN,

Ah, I thought I remembered you being unhappy with it on first taste and never heard anything later. I might very easily have misremembered.

The General Revolution nor the Ministre Rouge are the same wines. I’m guessing these are a cousin to the wines I’m asking about, but thanks for trying to be helpful.

Then it’s my fault for not realizing that there was more than one red with the word Ministre in the title. This was the Ministre Imperial, I was just being lazy in typing the complete name. I’ll fix it above.

I’ve never seen an Abbatucci named Le General as opposed to General de la Revolution. Is it imported to the US?

Check out CT. The naming conventions used by this winery are confusing as hell. Mine are the Cuvée Collection series and as you mentioned these are not cheap, so I’m hoping for the best.

Yes, these were Cuvee Collection - the ones that sell for around $90 or so. Looking at the Abbatucci website I see that the names they give don’t match the names on the labels.
