There is nothing better to inaugurate this blog, with notes of wine .
These tasting notes were received days spent in a reunion of friends oenophiles.
What better to drink good wine and good company, of course, without neglecting the good cuisine ... but that is an issue we will discuss later.
I leave you with tasting notes.

Renacer Punto Final Malbec 2005

Wine Enthusiast: 91 pts (Top 100 Best Buy) Vermillion Red Color
low intensity (to paraphrase my friend Adrian)
Flashes of evolution. Nose
poor. Only appeared some purple and some fruit from the back. I repeat: very poor nose.
In mouth is flat. Unfortunately, it's free. It does not prove much of anything.
1865 Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

which reminded me of the color of plum. Average depth
Aromas something dirty. Stands a pepper, and a background of red fruits.
The palate is tannic, but without being unbalanced. Very good acidity.
A right wine at the price you have. Not bad. But no big deal.
Peter Lehmann Clancy's 2005
Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot ( Barossa Valley - Australia ) 14.5% Alc. ($ 100 approx.)
raspberry red, shallow, medium intensity.
Spicy and a floral like violet, cinnamon, black pepper and vanilla. In fruits, raspberries and cassis note. Well dried prunes.

deep violet color, tinged with black. Depth soaring.
the nose, the first thing that sticks is Bananita Dolce.
appears behind vanilla, leather, spice. Sweet black fruit.
In the mouth the attack is oily. The tannins are very present, without being disturbed. Very heavy in the middle of the mouth. Balanced
alcohol, barely noticeable. Good acidity, but not wonderful. Final
lengthy, cumbersome.
This is one of the best tannats I've tried. Amalgamate the wood and the fruit. Alcohol is very high for the region and not noticed.
The price? for me is a minor detail. For me, wine of the night, along with Clancy's.

Bodega del Fin del Mundo Gran Reserva 2005
(Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc)
Vista evolved. Something off color. Nose
poor. Annealed berries. Steam some rather bitter.

believe has 8 years of aging, would not come.
Housebroken - Zaino Reserve Malbec 2004
( La Consulta, Valle de Uco ) 14% alc.
The word that sums up this wine is involution.
I remember lively, fresh. Easy to drink. Color

In the mouth, feel free to the misfortune of drinking.

Golden yellow, medium bubble, something rude.
Floral and fruity nose, the white family. Jasmine, peach and apricot.
The palate is fresh, lively. Very nice.
At first, I thought it was the Moscato Giallo de Lagarde. But I liked this wine a lot.
Jhonnie Walker Gold Label (18)
A good whiskey. Quite correct incorporation at the time of the dinner.
I was surprised the smell of paint thinner. Very nice in the mouth ... served although the measure was too generous.

Geranium and leaves of jasmine on the nose, with hints of overripe figs raisins.
nuts like chestnuts.
unctuous in the mouth thanks to -4 ° C. Refreshing. King
Anis Arak Tanios Rachid Touma Arak , 50% Alc. (Lebanon)
Hard to describe an anis.
On the nose, ANIS! But it reminds me of licorice root, very sweet. With a little spice too.

Greetings!
