2003 O'Shaughnessy Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountainmore |
7/30/2007 - Halcyn wrote: 92 pointsTypical Howell Mountain Cab. Floral nose with dark fruit and maybe a touch of cassis. Medium to full body pallate with a rich smooth finish. Not a wine to blow your socks off but still a good wine. |

2001 Cigarral Santa Maria Pago del Ama ColecciónVino de la Tierra de Castilla Red Blend more |
3/2/2007 - Halcyn wrote: 95 pointsAgain this wine was killer. I wish that I could find more!! Very dark color, cherries and spice on the nose and followed into the mouth. Very silky feel, spicey, dark fruits, tobacco. Finish went on and on. I know that this is the same as my last note but so was the wine. |

2003 Larkmead Vineyards LMV SalonNapa Valley Red Bordeaux Blend more |
2/10/2007 - Halcyn wrote: 91 pointsDark ruby color. Nose of chocolate, cherries, and plum. Palate follows the nose with some earthy spice as well. Pretty good mouth feel with good tannins. Excellent finish. I let mine breath for almost 6 hours...seemed to be a perfect amount of air time without decanting. |

2004 Bodegas Juan Gil Monastrell Jumillamore |
2/9/2007 - Halcyn wrote: 90 pointsTons of tobacco at first and the tannins are hard...then after about 3 hours everything came together. Very dark wine with dark cherries, the typical Mourvedre strawberry, gamey, and still the earthiness of tobacco. If you drink it now...let it breath for at least 3 hours. |

2/9/2007 - Halcyn wrote: 92 pointsDrank this time with home made pasta with Berkshire Pork Neck Ragu. Still tons of fruit flavor backed by that earthiness of the Northern Rhone. 3 bottles left...I hope I can hold off and age one for a few years. |

2001 Elderton Shiraz Single Vineyard CommandBarossa more |
1/24/2007 - Halcyn wrote: 96 pointsAGAIN.....This wine is awesome...Man I can't get over how good this wine is! Dark inky color, cocoa and dark cherries on the nose, great consentration of smooth tannins, spice, plums, and cherries on the tongue (extremely well balanced I might add), and the finish...by my watch was 50+ seconds! The body of this wine is full and shows such great potential for aging. In 10 years this wine will be drop dead! Penfold's Grange is a comparison but to me this is THE #1 shiraz. |
