White
2005 Domaine Huet Vouvray Sec Le Haut-Lieu France, Loire Valley, Touraine, Vouvray
91 points
Pale yellow colour. Aromas of minerals, white flowers, and ginger. Medium-full bodied, lovely texture, unctuous, spicy, with ginger, mineral, and sugarplum notes on the palate. Moderate-long finish, ~40s, with sugarplum, ginger, and white flower notes. Surprisingly off-dry, especially in comparison to the bone-dry 2004 vintage, but not as sweet as the Demi-Sec. Very nice.
White
2005 Daniel Lenko Viognier Canada, Ontario, Niagara Peninsula, Beamsville Bench VQA
90 points
Clear colour with gold tinges. Huge nose of lychee, peach, spice (ginger, nutmeg, and cardamom), and honey. Full-bodied, fat, unctuous, with spice, ginger, honey, meyer lemon, and just a hint of rosemary on the palate. Long finsih, ~35s, with ginger and lychee notes. Not sure if it's worth the $48CAD price tag, but it's lovely stuff nonetheless!
Red
1999 Fontanafredda Barbaresco Coste RubĂ­n Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barbaresco
90 points
Medium-garnet colour. Amazing, huge nose of leather, tar, roses, dried cherries, orange rind, spice, black plums, and sandalwood. Medium-bodied, good grip and structure, showing dried cherry, orange rind, tar, and black plums on the palate. Moderate finish, ~30-35s, with dark dried fruit and just a hint of rosemary oil. Drinking very nicely.
