2011 O'Shaughnessy Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountainmore |
8/18/2017 - Tarpon222 wrote: 89 pointsBetter the second night. I know this is 2011 but I would have expected better from this winery and price. Finish particularly not very good. My previous notes said better the second night and that still holds true. Needs to open for quite awhile. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (4) |

2003 Mitolo Shiraz SavitarMcLaren Vale more |
1/1/2015 - Tarpon222 wrote: NROpened 2 bottles. Both had an aged color but looked Ok for this age. One bottle was way over the hill; nasty finish but not corked. the other bottle was plain disappointing. These did not represent the Shiraz I like. probably just too old since both have been properly cellared. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |
