Blind. Light to medium gold and going to clear at the rim, a few strong legs, grassy, citrus lemon nose, some gooseberry but some ripe apricot and yellow plum, quite viscous in the mouth, med+ acid.
I had this pegged as a sauvignon, I thought the fruit was a bit ripe and obvious so went for a new world/NZ but didn't think it was Marlborough. The oak foxed me here

Blind. Mid gold colour, savoury nuts, cashews, ripe and quite tropical, some heat here, maybe high alcohol, strong legs, med+ acidity, intense and full in the mouth, stewed apple, more nuts.
On tasting I was going for a full throttle new world Chardonnay, but talking about it with the group honey and Sauternes were mentioned which clicked me straight to Loire Chenin Blanc either Vouvray or Savennieres with a bit of age.

Blind. Medium gold, aromatic nose, strong legs, floral, almond, marzipan, citrus, med+ acid, lots of crunchy green apples, lighter alcohol but totally dry and minerally.
I went for a Riesling, probably German and trocken in style

Blind. Fairly young, plenty of strong kegs, rich plum, creamy oak, black currant nose, more blackcurrant, med+ acid, med tannin, med+ length.
Definitely some Cabernet, but I suspected more merlot in the blend, I went for a Bordeaux blend as it didn't feel too big, ripe or hot, but the plushness and creamy nose should have pointed me elsewhere

Blind. Some age here, bricked so the rim, floral, cherry, bright and aromatic, some nail polish, high tannin, strong legs.
I went for italy and a Sangiovese, discussing the wine and tannins made me change to Nebbiolo. This was surprisingly elegant for a 2010 brunello, I was thinking more Chianti Classico on tasting.

Slight bricking at the rim, but this is young and punchy, quite boisterous, ripe pungent cherry with a side of vanilla, med+ acidity and very strong legs.
Clearly a new world Pinot, I was between Central Otago or cooler California, I probably should have got closer to this wine.
