Make from native grapes of Merwah and Obaideh from Lebanon, the white Musar is truely a treat if not an acquired taste. Smoky, complex with strong, ripe fruits. Unique and no need to chill. Needs very strong food to go with it. Once you have it, you will recognize it next time.
I like this Shiraz a lot! At 14%, it has strong alcohol content, but not over the top of taste nor flavor. Well balanced with berries and touch of leafy and cedar with excellent finish.
Tasted this wine, thanks to Arthur. Hard to decipher, soft and mellow, but it is chiefly Carbernet, with merlot and carbernet franc. Not at all like a Chilean wines that we have tasted. Blackberry, tobacco and soft dissolved tannins.
Still my favorite Pinot Noir from New Zealand!! Chocolate, so much red fruit, orange peel, floral, bursting with fruit yet with good balance. A bit young, bit still really really enjoyable. If only the price was not so high. Again, an excellent and improving effort from Ata Rangi.
Bought quite a bit of this some time ago. Color dark ruby. Fine tobacco, vegetation, red berries and fine tannins. Everything just subtle and well composed with good acidity. Classic Gevrey Chambertin which should be enjoyable for many many more years. 
Chardonnay + Pinot Noir. Very light pink with fat bubbles. Yeasty with strawberries. Good for its price.
Apricot, floral, honey, orange peel, tropical fruit, nutty, fatty but not over the top. Well made Sauternes with good finish. A well deserved end to any dinner.
This Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough is better when well chilled. Pale straw yellow, with slight fruit, grassy, lots of citrus (grapefruit) and mineral tones. Lots of acidity and really refreshing. Less herbaceous then the previous ones, but ready to drink right after opening. Zesty, crispy aftertaste. When it warmed up, everything was too much - too much acidity, too much minerals, but fruit still not pronounced. Served with food and chilled it will be an excellent choice for the money!
Dark ruby red. Raspberry, dark cherry, light tobacco and orange peel. Fantastic tannin, which is still strong after 4 years and good structure. Chocolate and spices, strong alcohol. Very persistent and with time, increased in complexity and smoothness.
After En Champ and Cinq Terroir, again, another Denis Mortet Gevrey-Chambertin. Smoky, leafy, with black cherry and some floral notes. Tannins still quite chewy and acidity still high. Compared to En Champ (same year), slightly less powerful, but with greater leafy smell. Compared to Cinq Terroir, much less powerful, but more finese in that you can slowly appreciate the terroir whereas the Cinq Terroir gives you so many flavours that might be at times overwhelming.
From Rheinhessen under Schmitt Söhne. Simple ice wine with honey, rasins and caramel. Very syrupy, sweet and sticky. Concentrated and at 9% alcohol.
Excellent dessert wine with elegance and finesse from Napa for its price. Apricot, peaches, honey, orange skin and citric notes. The name of the vineyard SuSkol comes from the original indigenous name of the land. This late harvest is concentrated but not over the top and it claims on the bottle there was botrytis was present as the weather was particularly bad that year affecting their normal Chardonney from this vineyard. The best "late harvest" I have had and very Sauternes like.
The beautiful wine from Morey et Fils. Nose with peach, floral, nectar, toasty notes and fine vanilla. So much complexity and great finish of minerals, acidity and the sweat round fatty notes.
Dark purple color, nose has alcohol, blackberry and vanilla. Tannins still way too strong and high in acidity. Fruit intense but not overpowering. Finish long but lacks a bit complexity. Not as good as remember tasting the other years.
Blackcurrant, pepper, tobacco leaf and a bit of animal. Very good with the steak. Grainy, high tannins, acidity and finish that is not long but with the sticky mouth feeling.
Golden yellow chardonnay to go with the fatty tuna. Apple, honey, pears and light oak and smooth long finish with mineral tones.
Wine selection at Heline's wedding in Singapore was very good. Very good marriage of food and wine. The first was Green Point Chardonnay. Light yellow with strong vanilla, creamy and yeasty overtones. Fresh peach and citrus. short to medium finish. With time and warmer, still well balanced and suburb wine which went really well with the lobster. Very impressed with this Yarra Valley wine.
Excellent N.V. Champagne with fine bubbles, great citrus and green apple flavors. Medium bodied, fine integration of acidity and body, nice round and fat. Fantastic wine to start off the evening with, and also excellent value for money!
One of the best Chardonnays I have had from the US. Very well balanced oak, bready but not overpowering. Grapefruit, pear and tangy feeling for the great refreshing acidity. A Chardonnay that feels that it is from a cooler region with refined structure and elegance. Fantastic wine and well worth the money for this 2006. It compares well with the French Chardonnays and probably more people will like it with it excellent balance.
Of course there is honey, there is cinnamon, there is apricot, there is orange peel and the slight trace of ginger. When drunk, not as powerful as one would expect, quite simple and approachable with less concentration, but great acidity and structure. Not too fat, but round and reasonably long finish. It might not be the best d'Yquem but it is certainly a very enjoyable Sauternes.
