2005 Čotar Sauvignon Blanc - Slovenia, Primorska, Kras (1/9/2012)
A really nice orange wine that smells slightly of dill but otherwise has no connotations that could be thought of as Sauvignon. Instead it smells of ripe oranges. The palate is also quite sweet and fairly low in acid compared to the previous year, but it is still refreshing and grippy and moreish. Lovely, though not varietally typical.
2008 Domaine du Vieux Lazaret Châteauneuf-du-Pape - France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape (1/9/2012)
A perfectly decent CdP though not terribly complex: typically sweet aromas with a bit of leather. Full body, some nice savouriness. Not terribly long or complex but a perfectly adequate wine.
2009 Domaine David Clark Bourgogne Au Pelson - France, Burgundy, Bourgogne (1/9/2012)
13% abv. This is so pretty! A very pure, slightly stemmy Pinosity (it is 100% whole cluster), sweet, sexy and primary. Sweet palate but with enough bite; the fruit is still very primary so 2-3 years I think are needed. I think this will be lovely.
