Tasted wines with my good friend Doug yesterday. He was very patient as we (I) was busy running around but we did have a chance to taste through some things.
Black Wing Shiraz 05 Australia Manure nose. reminds me of the story on Truman when reporters asked Bess couldnt she get him to stop saying that to which she replied"Do you know how long it took me to get him to say that!!"
Tapestry Bakers Gully Shiraz Australia 05 Coffee and mocha, nice acid, but there are dozens of Shiraz languishing on my shelves already.'
Chateau Cablanc Bordeaux 2001 Being that it is labeled Bordeaux it has to come from somewhere in that region but at $14 probably not any of the famous chateaus. Fragrant nose and light body. A good starter wine for someone wanting to try this region.
Regalat means Extraordinary but for me it tasted like a chemical I couldnt place. Lots of oak and not much fruit. Oh it was a Zin.
Salvestrin Cabernet 03 My answer to the Silver Oak Napa Valley at half the price. Pretty cedar nose. lots of grit that i like on the fromt of the palate. Definitely can age or be decanted. $50
Salut
