2007 Château des Cléons Muscadet de Sèvre-et-MaineMelon de Bourgogne more |

2006 Evans & Tate Sauvignon BlancMargaret River more |

A very nice nose, and the earthiness makes its way into the taste. Coffee and cherries predominate, though I guess some spices can also be felt (it's hard to say with all the earth around it). |

2005 Kellerei Bozen / Cantina Bolzano Alto Adige - Südtirol Grieser RiservaLagrein more |
2/23/2009 - alexrad wrote: 88 pointsNot the best Lagrein I've ever had. It's a Riserva, so it's oaky, and maybe this would have gotten better with some more time in the bottle, but at the moment, the oak didn't help much. Not a bad wine, but not as rich as it could be. |

2005 De Tarczal Trentino Marzemino Superiore di Iseramore |

2006 Yering Station Pinot Noir E.D.Yarra Valley more |
1/7/2009 - alexrad wrote: 88 pointsServed slightly chilled; having it at room temperature doesn't seem like a good idea. Some light preserve on the nose; not very well defined. The taste is better: cherry preserves, floral notes, perhaps some ripe berries. Quite elegant, goes well with tuscan bread and some cured meat. Not as crisp as other roses; more like a light pinot noir. |
