New Year Gathering at Tony/Wynne's then Joy Luck Place after 2007/02/17

 Year  Wine  Price  Rating 
2004 Chappellet Mountain Cuvee Cabernet, Napa Valley
Dark plum, black currant, not extremely complex but very well concentrated and deep for this price range. Inky, hint of coffee, round tannin. I have not seen this "Mountain Cuvee" label before. They used to have a $17 Napa Cabernet that I like a lot but was hard to find after vintage 1998. - so - ws
22.99 ****
2001 Vietti "Castiglione", Barolo
Good price for a WS92 Barolo with list price of $50. Berry, acidic, wild flowers, red plum, strawberry, mixed spice. - so - ws
29.99 ****
2003 Penfolds Bin 407 Cabernet, South Australia
Amazing price for a wine. Round and velvety, blackberry, dark plum, lots of chocolate, very long finish. - so - ws
15.99 ****½
