Yummy

The 2002 Spottswoode Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley is starting to shine... tasted a few months ago, this wine was closed, but the potential was there. Now the wine is opening and showing beautiful graphite and anise notes along with very concentrated black plums and currants. Great wine with a very, very long finish. The 2003 Flor de Pingus, Ribera del Duero, Spain is an amazing wine... I haven't had this before last night and I am completely blown away. Though a thin-skinned grape, the amount of extraction in this wine is immense. Very, very floral - it seems like it should be an extremely powerful wine, but along with the power is very refined elegance. Lots of violets on the nose - an extremely floral wine - with lots of smoke as well. Beautiful!
