12/25/2012 - wattacetti Likes this wine: 90 pointsBroken cork but worth the effort to get it open. Slightly sweet with with a nice complementary acidity; still has a few years to go. |

2006 Domaine Brana JurançonPetit Manseng more |
12/25/2012 - wattacetti Likes this wine: 90 pointsSlightly sweet but a stupendous Jurançon with plenty of honey and citrus notes to it. Definitely look for more from this producer. |

2007 Qupé Roussanne Hillside Estate Bien Nacido VineyardSanta Maria Valley more |
1/1/2013 - wattacetti Likes this wine: 90 pointsHas put on a bit of weight since the last bottle. All pears and lemons, and only coming around after the glass sat for more than 20 minutes at room temperature. |

2006 Kettle Valley MalbecOkanagan Valley more |
10/8/2012 - wattacetti Likes this wine: 89 pointsInitially dark chocolate on the nose, but showing signs of leather and red berries as it opened. Cherries and chocolate reminiscent of Cherry Blossom with a fairly long finish. |

2000 Tenuta San Guido SassicaiaBolgheri Sassicaia Red Bordeaux Blend more |
9/23/2012 - wattacetti wrote: 89 pointsVery odd bottle, showing potential cork taint in one glass and not the other. Funk eventually blew off, leaving sour cherry and cedar notes on the nose. Dark fruit and a little bit of spice, with a slight bitterness at the tail. Paired fairly well with the Skradinski Rižot. |

12/2/2011 - wattacetti wrote: 89 pointsDeep yellow, with still a significant amount of sweetness which shows off as a nutty caramel. Acidity is still there to offset. Very faint petrol nose. |

12/25/2011 - wattacetti Likes this wine: 90 pointsHas really held up well, becoming a deep amber color. Still a little crispy tingly finish on the tongue, but aromas and flavors of caramel and honey offset with some acidity. |

2006 Tissot (Bénédicte et Stéphane / André et Mireille) Savagnin Arboismore |
12/3/2011 - wattacetti Likes this wine: 92 pointsThe same grape as vin jaune and with a nose of vin jaune though much discussion about port and xérès as well. Notes of ginger and cinnamon. Very well balanced and amazing acidity and long long finish. |

2006 Greenock Creek Shiraz AlicesBarossa Valley more |
9/9/2011 - wattacetti wrote: 90 pointsInky-purple with very oily slow legs, the wine was closed in glass for the better part of 5-6 hours. I'm fairly certain it was infanticide. |

6/24/2011 - wattacetti Likes this wine: 90 pointsBeautiful amber color. Excellent balance between sweetness and acidity; redolent of apricots both in aroma and in mouth. |

2007 Township 7 Sauvignon BlancOkanagan Valley VQA more |
6/21/2011 - wattacetti wrote: 87 pointsWine was a deeper yellow in color than previous bottles. Still with the cat wee-wee nose but also a slight nuttiness. Fruit more muted than previous bottles but there is now a creaminess and honey and nut on the palate. Considerably improved from the last one. |

6/4/2011 - wattacetti wrote: 89 pointsServed just below room temperature. Wine itself was quite yellow though not quite amber. Notes of lemon, apple and flower, good minerality though somewhat lacking in acidity. |

2006 Township 7 SyrahOkanagan Valley VQA more |
6/1/2011 - wattacetti wrote: 87 pointsUnfiltered is right - this was throwing off a lot of deposits with a big slick in bottle and sediment at the bottom of the glass. Notes of plum but a definite pepper spiciness and acidity to keep the drinking interesting. |

2005 Domaine Ilarria IrouléguyTannat Blend, Tannat more |
12/18/2010 - wattacetti Does not like this wine: 80 pointsAttempted with garbure. Nothing but tobacco and smoke on the nose and a very astringent experience which didn't improve or go away with either time or additional aeration. |
