Oak in the bouquet. In the mouth the oak gives the impression of pine…. There still is fresh fruit and ok acidity, but the wine is not in harmony with the oak.

2009 Casavyc di Viviana Filocamo Morellino di Scansano (Black front label = Young Vines)
Italy, Tuscany, Maremma, Morellino di Scansano
No TN, but I did not know where to put this info. The wine with the black front label (which I could not download) is made of 10 - 20 years old vines. The wine with the white front label is made of 20 - 50 years old vines. (I will add that wine plus label and a TN soon.) See also http://www.casavyc.it/

Fruity, not very expressive bouquet with primary cherry fruits. Same on the palate with typical Italian acidity. Firm tannin in the finish. Not sure how this will develop. No score.

2004 Podere San Luigi Sangioveto Toscana IGT 86 Points
Italy, Tuscany, Toscana IGT
In the bouquet ripe fruits and a just a little bit of pleasant oak. On the palate a lot of red fruits and also a lot of (Italian) acidity which gives the wine a lot of freshness. Still youthful with sticky tannin.

2006 Podere San Luigi Sangioveto Toscana IGT 87 Points
Italy, Tuscany, Toscana IGT
Still a little bit locked. Pleasant bouquet with red fruits and soft oak. The wine has a lot of harsh tannin and bitterness from the oak. Needs another 3+ years of rest.

Beautiful and elegant mature bouquet with ripe dark fruits, tobacco and also some butterscotch and licorice. On the palate red as well as black berry fruits, cream, butterscotch again and some pepper. There is some pleasant sweetness and in beautiful harmony with the acidity. A little pleasant bitterness as well. Great wine.

2005 Bodegas Emilio Moro Ribera del Duero Malleolus 92 Points
Spain, Castilla y León, Ribera del Duero
Beautiful, smoky, cassis, young/new oak, laurel. The tannin is still offering a firm bite. This lush wine will probably improve with another 3+ years of ageing.

1996 Wynns Coonawarra Estate Cabernet Sauvignon John Riddoch 91 Points
Australia, South Australia, Limestone Coast, Coonawarra
Beautiful and complex bouquet; smoky, tobacco. Modern and classical at the same time. Chocolate and cocoa. A lot of good bitterness and tannin which is a bit drying in the finish. Although mature it might not show itself completely yet.

1999 Moss Wood Cabernet Sauvignon 92 Points
Australia, Western Australia, South West Australia, Margaret River
In the bouquet this wine well could be mistaken for a Bdx. Luxurious oak, black berry fruits and laurel. Same on the palate. Very juicy. The amount of sweetness reveals this is a new world wine.

1994 Château Les Ormes de Pez 87 Points
France, Bordeaux, Médoc, St. Estèphe
The bouquet is the best part; a little pleasant barnyard at first, beautiful oak and some salty licorice. On the palate tealeaves, elegant acidity and somewhat drying tannin. Still enjoyable, but drink soon.
