1996 Reignac en demi-bouteille - the nose showed obvious signs of earthiness and vegetal character, something I usually don't like. But overall it was OK, with good concentration. Funny how you can always tell a Bordeaux Cab...

Alkoomi, Torreon de Paredes and Reignac
Dinner at brown.
1997 Alkoomi Cabernet Sauvignon - good body and structure. Nice nose. Berries, slightly sweet. Fairly tannic since it's so young, but nice. Sweet after taste.
Brought by wine merchant.
1995 Torreon de Paredes Reserve - this was opened along with the first bottle, and by now it had an awesome nose. I took one whiff and it was "wow"! Incredible how it opened up. Very smooth and velvety tannins. Good concentration with lots of sweet fruit. Yum!
