2007 Pecorino Rocca Antica

Absolutely nothing stands out about this wine. Not so bad I slate it, but no redeeming qualities. Bland, uninteresting taste.

This is not good. Basically, its sweet watery vinegar. Just about drinkable, but with no redeemable qualities. Enough said.

Very berry, big and tasty. Love this cab sav, very drinkable right now, will develop a bit over a couple of years.

2006 Montgras Cabernet Sauvignon

Big, Bold Chilean red wine. Sweet candy nose with a hint of pepper. The taste are wonderfully sweet blackberries with a hint of strawberries and cream, good finish. I recommend this wine to drink on its own or with cheese.

2006 Le Bombarde Cannonau di Sardegna
(2008-07-18 21:13:52 UTC) buddy icon 2006 Le Bombarde Cannonau di Sardegna 73/100

I have to disagree completely with the previous reviewer, this is not very good wine at all. In summary - the color of this wine struck me as slightly odd, more florescent than it should be. It has an interesting nose - not very strong but not unpleasant. The aroma that comes through is a blend of liquorish and cough medicine. The taste however is really lacking - no real flavours shine through and the aftertaste is not pleasant at all. I do not recommend this.

2003 Il Barco Salice Salentino Riserva

Fairly pleasant drink, cant complain. Fairly sweet nose and taste. Strawberries and vanilla ice cream. The finish is not perfect, but overall not a bad drink.

2006 Huerta de Albalá Taberner

There is a lot to like about this wine. It has a very solid nose, striking strong cherry and vanilla nose. Very bold taste, strong fruit and excellent heavy berry flavors.

I really opened this early, it will keep very well, and I recommend opening it in 5 years time - it should be developing well by then.

2005 Robert Mondavi Woodbridge Cabernet Sauvignon
(2008-07-10 22:24:04 UTC) buddy icon 2005 Robert Mondavi Woodbridge Cabernet Sauvignon 71/100

Unbalanced, can heavily taste the alcohol. It has a bitter aftertaste. cherry and tobacco nose, slight cherry taste. Terrible finish, avoid this wine.
