WTN: Tuesday night wines

Freixenet Cordon Negro Cava - Apples. Demi-sec. Short, metallic finish. Not bad.

Riscal Tempranillo 2005 - New Worldy style. Tobacco and leather. Chocolate. Drink now style. Overoaked, unfortunately.

Yalumba Y Shiraz/Viognier 2005 - Bright acidity, cassis. Well balanced, drink now style. Good budget wine.

Gilligan Shiraz/Grenache/Mourvedre McLaren Vale 2004 - Fruity, dry, spicy. Soft, long, very nice but slightly overoaked.

Boekenhoutskloof Chocolate Block 2004 - I couldn't find out what grapes go into this but it seems like Syrah, mostly. Earthy, bitter chocolate. Good balance. Good.

Chateau Changyu Golden Diamond "Level" (Label?) Icewine - Chinese Vidal Icewine. This seems to be a non-vintage wine. A rather light style of icewine. Needs a bit more sugar and acid. Has a strange, bitter, burnt flavor in the finish. Bettetr than I expected. Not bad.
