Tasting at Ben/Rosalia's home with dad & pau 2007/04/07

 Year  Wine  Price  Rating 
NV Overture, Napa Valley
Bought in 2006, this particular bottle is off, hint of pepper, slightly corkiness, vanilla, chocolate, flavor rather stunned, vegetal (mirepoix?), awkward, finishing short. Opened another Overture bought around the same time the next night, no notes taken, but is significantly different. - so - ws
45 **
2001 Chateau de la Gardine Gaston Philippe Cuvee des Generations, Chateauneuf-du-Pape
tannic, astringent, tight, pepper, wet earth, bbq roast, unimpressive for the price which is significantly higher than list price since this was bought in Hong Kong - so - ws
70 ***
2004 Caymus Cabernet, Napa Valley
plum, vanilla, blackberry, dusty, long, concentrated but somewhat blander than previous tastings for some reason. ripe like port. - so - ws
65 ****
