moet hennessy tasting with michael storey

Newton Unfiltered Chardonnay Napa 2007...surprisingly uneventful.. maybe a little old and a touch corked.. not showing much fruit or energy... alcohol was showing though..


Newton Cab Sauvignon Unfiltered 2006 a lot of tannin and earth and again not much fruit... was expecting more I have to say

Terrazas Gran Malbec Afincado 2006... deep ruby red color, nose of A1 steak sauce... juicy spices, nice grip on the palate..needs some beef to tame it

Casa Lapostolle Carmenere 2008... possibly one of the best Carmenere I have ever tasted... a pretty strawberry rhubarb nose, long finish and one of the most silky mid palate wines I have had in a long time

Numanthia Termes 2007... tinto de toro.. or tempranillo.. with lots of character.. it makes your mouth water... pretty red fruits to it... very good and will last for several years.
