2006 Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc 92 Points

Nice clear golden color. Nose of cat pee.. not too overwhelming, blows of after a while. Nice citrus background with a mouthful of fruit medium length with a bright crisp acidity. IMHO better than the 2005 and different than the 2004.

Nice clear golden color. Nose of citrus pineapples and a nice minerality to it. Beautiful mouth of green grapes and a nice freshness. Medium length and a good dose of acidity to let it improve for a few more years.

2001 Château d'Yquem 99 Points
France, Bordeaux, Sauternais, Sauternes
Sex in a bottle, what can I say more. This was spectacular. As Steve said, a finish that well... never finished. Still had memory impressions the next morning. Descriptors are lacking because there's is no way to really describe it except as "perfect".
