1990 Maison Leroy Maranges
Cork 100% soaked through, even wine under the capsule.
C- Cloudy violet, starting to brown at edges.
A- Tart cherries, acid, earth, caramel, truffles.
F- Light, aromas come through. Lingering woodsy flavor, cocoa powder.
Overall- Good pinot, probably about time to drink up. 89.
2008 Orin Swift "The Prisioner"- Napa Valley red wine(majority Zinfandel), 15.2% abv.
C- Dark violet/garnet. Clear but very concentrated color, making it hard to see through.
A- Alcohol, Dark/red fruit. Touch of oak, woodsy aroma.
F- Woodsy, dark fruit, jammy. Balanced, full bodied with medium finish. Drank this over a few days and from day two on it had a really interesting anise/Szechuan peppercorn thing going on.
Overall- Very good, in a similar league and price point to some Turley and Ridge zins. 92.
