2006 Monte Antico Toscana
(2010-03-01 11:38:45 UTC) buddy icon 2006 Monte Antico Toscana 91/100

Plum and cherries on the nose; medium to full bodied; juicy and fruity with a long finish. Super wine for the price. Bought a case.

2005 Bodegas Emilio Moro Ribera del Duero
(2010-02-27 23:05:45 UTC) buddy icon 2005 Bodegas Emilio Moro Ribera del Duero 90/100

Jammy fruits (but not overly so) with earthy tones and a nice, spicy finish

2007 Flora Springs Trilogy
(2010-02-20 02:36:09 UTC) buddy icon 2007 Flora Springs Trilogy 92/100

A real beauty. Takes time to develop in the glass -- decant? Subtle dark berries and mocha on the nose; continues with vanilla, berries and a nice zing of acidity on a palate; long finish. Smooth.

2007 Brazin Old Vine Zinfandel
(2010-02-14 14:50:37 UTC) buddy icon 2007 Brazin Old Vine Zinfandel 89/100

Medium to full-bodied; ruby red colors; very balanced and very long finish; plenty of fruit on the palate (not a "fruit bomb" though) with some grassy notes. NICE

2008 Mollydooker "The Boxer" Shiraz
(2010-01-23 17:09:07 UTC) buddy icon 2008 Mollydooker "The Boxer" Shiraz 90/100

Wow, a novelty sort of wine, I guess. Over the top aromas of caramel and vanilla; a real mouthful of forward flavors continuing on the candy-bar theme; mild spicy finish.

2006 Chateau Boswell Estate Reserve
(2010-01-17 15:51:11 UTC) buddy icon 2006 Chateau Boswell Estate Reserve 97/100

Complex, balanced and well structured, with a pleasant 'zing' of acidity. Finish lasts for minutes. Taste reminds me of ripe, fresh strawberries with a hint of chocolate. Had I not known better, I would have thought this wine was a young Bordeaux.

2007 Hang Time Central Coast Chardonnay
(2009-08-03 01:37:22 UTC) buddy icon 2007 Hang Time Central Coast Chardonnay 89/100

Vibrant and fresh. Light flavors of pineapple and other tropical fruits.

2001 Lealtanza Reserva Rioja
(2009-07-27 01:50:08 UTC) buddy icon 2001 Lealtanza Reserva Rioja 93/100

Explosive nose. Full bodied and bold. Flavors of plums and minerals. Super long finish. Big wow for under 20 bucks.

2006 Chappellet Signature Cabernet Sauvignon
(2009-04-06 01:10:27 UTC) buddy icon 2006 Chappellet Signature Cabernet Sauvignon 91/100

Bold and Fruity. Not overly complex, just a solid cab. Best to drink young.
