• 2010 Château Tour de Ségur

  France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Lussac-St. Émilion

  Tasted double blind. Gah, don't open this for another 5 years! This was just oak at the moment, toffee, vanilla, you name it, splinters on the palate. Fruit in the background waiting to come out.

• 2008 Sella & Mosca Alghero Tanca Farra

  Italy, Sardinia, Alghero

  Tasted double blind. This was an enjoyable wine, a bit citrusy at the moment, but nice blackberry, gritty tannins, fairly light on the palate.
