One Chile, one Bdx and two Napa

2006 Almaviva:
Dark ruby, green bell peppers, herbs, minerals, blackcurrants and dark fruits. Complex nose. Very elegant, almost like velvet, tannins are very ripe and like snow, nice acidity, very long finish, needs time. 91


2005 Chateau Angelus;
Dark ruby, ruby rim, blackcurrants, leather, liquorice, cigar, complex and youthfull. Very clean and elegant, nice acidity, ripe tannins, nice fruit, maybe a bit to nice? Smooth and rounded. 93


2006 Beaulieu Vineyard Georges de Latour;
To me, this wine is again a dissapointment, there is always something that do not please me, or I do not understand with this wine. I found it short, unripe tannins all over the place, wood tannins, and lacking acidity, maybe it's me? 77


1995 Beringer Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley Private Reserve;
Another of the Napas, that I never get very prosaic about. Great intence tobacco nose, nice acidity, ripe tannins, a bit hollow in the mid palate and aftertaste, prunes and cooked dark fruits, ok finish. 80
