2004 Domaine Fontaine-Gagnard Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Morgeot Rouge

Came in waves aromatically. Began with explosive sweet oak with cloves and asian spices. With some digging, backtracked into rot. Eventually meshed together and in the end is not bad, but that rot will be more apparent as the baby fat subsides. Sleek on the light-bodied, raspberry and currant palate if not a touch to oaky for my tastes. Good (?) now, but I wouldn't expect this to improve.

2006 Honig Sauvignon Blanc Napa Valley

This Sauvignon Blanc left me underwhelmed. (I should point out that this was the entry level Sauvignon Blanc, and that there is Rutherford Sauvignon Blanc made entirely from estate fruit as well.) The nose was ripe and exotique but not very exciting to me; it lacked a bit in the intensity department in both the nose and on the palate. I'd pass.

2005 Honig Cabernet Sauvignon

Deep nose. Full, almost creamy palate with real ripe, approachable tannins. Notes of black fruits and sous bois. Sizable, approachable, dense, mouthfilling Cab.
