Louis Latour Marsannay 2009, Ac

A rather fiery pinot noir. Could use a couple years in the cellar, but drinking fairly well now, especially with food.

Poggiotondo Brunello Di Montalcino 2006

Mission Hill Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2009, VQA Okanagan Valley

I liked this wine a lot, even without decanting. Intense blackberry and wood on the nose, mid-to-full feel in the mouth, and a nice, smoky, lingering finish.
This wine does enjoy some time in the decanter however. Opens up a lot, revealing more fruit, more chocolate, and less wood and booze. A solid Okanagan Valley Cab.

Beso De Vino Old Vine Garnacha 2011, Carinena

The neck of this bottle has a 90 point rating emblazoned on it (from someone named Stephen Tanzer). 90 points? Really? This tastes like pureed Twizzlers.
