Deep golden yellow color. Initial aroma is of apple juice, followed by wet stone. The palate, though rich in texture, mirrors the bouquet with its apple juice notes. Perhaps too old? Revisiting this before it was unveiled, the apple juice qualities had softened, leaving pear and stone notes. Had no real guess here- you could have told me OTH Chardonnay or a Rhone varietal or just about anything else and I'd not have argued with you.

Deep color- looks older like the first wine. Aromas of white fruit and florals, with a wet stone quality as well. Here again, apple juice on the palate, though there's a spicy flavor that lingers through the finish; plenty of acid too. Guessed Italian variety.

Lemongrass and citrus notes; has a sweet quality too, almost like Lemonheads candy, along with mineral and stone. Toasty, charred quality on the palate, followed by apple and orchard fruit with a butterscotch note on the finish. Guessed Bordeaux blend.

Pale color with notes of jalapeno and cat urine along with sour lime. Tangy acidity on the palate with lime and jalapeno flavors. Obviously Sauv Blanc, and I incorrectly guessed S. Africa.

Pale color with aromas of white peach, florals and sweet citrus notes. White fruit on the palate, again with a subtle "sweet" quality that is rather pleasant, and a soft spice note on the finish. Guessed domestic Viognier.

Fairly deep color with aromas of black cherry, herbs, tea leaves and dried leaves/forest floor. Tannins are still somewhat firm but sweet and there's a plushness on the palate. Flavors of black raspberry, blackberry, evergreen and dried herbs. Guessed CA Cab Bordeaux blend. 90-91 pts.

Garnet color. Aromas of chalk, chocolate and black currants. Full-bodied and dense, with chalky tannins and flavors of chocolate and black fruit with a spice-tinged finish. Guessed Napa cab sauv. 89+ pts.

Soft garnet color. Red berry fruit with Wyler's bouillon cube undertones. The palate follows the bouquet; tired red fruit on the finish. The bouillon qualities soften and almost disappear, leaving some ripe, but tired, dark fruit. Guessed old Zin.

Raspberry and pomegranate- very forward fruit. Full-bodied with chalky tannins and a mix of red & black fruit. Ripe, maybe even a raisin quality. Finishes well, with a mix of fruit and oak spice. Guessed Zin.

Softened garnet color. Aromas of tobacco, iron, red currants and maybe even some iodine. Balanced, with softened tannins and flavors of iron, tobacco, red fruit and forest floor. Long finish. 92-93 pts. Guessed lesser 2000/2001 St. Julien.

Aromas of vanilla and sour red fruit. Medium-bodied with flavors of vanilla, red fruit and spice, but turning sour on the mid-palate and finish. Guessed Tempranillo.

Garnet color. Herbal overtones with red and black currants and cassis with just a hint of beef bouillon cube. Medium tannin with some lovely red fruit, but it turns sour and acidic on the finish. Guessed Cab Sauv.

Inky color. Aromas of meat, violets, kirsch and chocolate. Full-bodied, with firm tannins, but they're definitely approachable and dare I say ready. Cassis, blackberry and chocolate on the palate. Balanced, with a nice long finish. Petite, and I thought ours. Worth seeking out.

Garnet color. Aromas of red berry fruit, earth and iron. The palate follows the bouquet; good underlying acidity.

Aromas of vanilla, red fruit, currants and spice. On the palate, this is rather simple with flavors of red fruit and vanilla with a spice-tinged finish. Guessed Cab Sauv.

Aromas of dark fruit, incense and cassis. The palate follows the bouquet, with a meaty note as well. Tasty. Guessed Syrah.

Notes of red currants, spice and vanilla. Spice and red fruit, but very heavily oaked. Guessed CA Cab.

Dark color with aromas of chocolate, blackberry and plum. Full-bodied with firm tannins and structure. Black fruit on the palate, with vanilla and spice on the finish. Pretty good underlying acidity.

A mix of red and dark fruit in the bouquet, along with an anise/tarragon quality and dill. Red fruit and spice on the palate, with dark fruit on the finish. Develops a strawberry note as it opens further in the glass. Guessed Napa cab.

Medicinal red fruit aromas turn to plastic/latex and the fruit disappears. Medium-bodied with generic red and dark fruit flavors. Flawed.

Corked.
