2005
Batista Estate Merlot
Medium ruby and slightly opaque. Verly slight signs of aging. This had smells of strong blackcurrant and plum with wood shavings, warm spice, pepper, pineapple and ripe guava. On the palate, cinnamon, tobaco, sweet black berry fruits, clove and woody herbs. A good balance and acidity with a sweet sticky texture and a long finish. Still some room for improvement, full and interesting. Very good.
2006
Mount Riley - Sauvignon Blanc
This wine still has a good acidity and freshness. On the nose, very sweet mini pineapple, candy and a backbone of minerals. Floral flavours with a pear, tropical fruit and a real grappiness! Definitely still has some life although I wonder if the acidity will eventually overpower the fruit. However, for now, still very good indeed.
2005
Vignol - Louisiane
This bottle was too acidic. Otherwise, similar as the previous bottle.
2005
Wyndham - Cabernet Sauvignon Bin 444
Strong sweet blackcurrant flavours and an oaky nose. The body is smooth and silky with a good finish. At the price a good buy.
