Plethora...

not a lack of things I tasted this week...

2004 Darioush Cabernet Sauvignon is spicy as always... nice wine, not great though... the 2003 Stags Leap Wine Cellars "Fay" Cabernet Sauvignon has the most inviting nose... beautiful black currant with hints of cedary dust. Nice stuff. The 2004 Tignanello continues to blow me away... I have tasted every vintage made of this wine and I think this is the best one to date. The 2004 Flor de Pingus is coffee, mocha and a whole lot of goodness... awesome stuff, and to imagine Pingus is even better... The 2005 Pahlmeyer (I think it was 05...) Pinot Noir is big, powerful, and a bit overdone on the alcohol. Good wine, but not tremendous. Our last bottle.
