2004
Quietud - Toro
Put this stuff down in the cellar for a while. Right now it tastes and smells like rose petals and blackberries from a barnyard floor...Spanish garrigue and plenty of tannins. Actually liked it a lot, but needs time and then a good dose of air.

Chapoutier, M - Ermitage Le Meal Blanc
Straw color with pleasant honeyed aroma and smooth palate. Tasted better as it approached room temperature and paired well with a creamy chicken dish. Wouldn't run out and buy another one at current prices.
2000
Tua Rita - Giusto di Notri
Very dark, full-bodied and intense with no single flavor predominant. Really needs to be decanted. Needs a lot air. We wound up letting it breathe for hours before it reached its potential. Still a little rough edge to the tannins, otherwise it would be a 95+ wine.
2004
Rubissow-Sargent - Cabernet Sauvignon
Wow! What a success for the next generation of Rubissow winemakers in Napa. Deep, rich fruit...blackberries, cassis, and currants with ample sweet tannins that promise some potential in the cellar. Hard to find, but worth the effort.
2006
Bouard-Bonnefoy - Chassagne-Montrachet Morgeot Les Petits Clos 1er Cru
Apple. lemon. and a hint of brown butter with pleasant acidity and enough of a mineral finish to keep it very interesting.
