My picks for January...

I guess you're bored with suggestions for Christmas wines for every occasion and every budget... So, I've waited for January to come ;-)


2006 Chateau Kamnik, Ten Barrels, Cabernet, Macedonia
Deep ruby, ripe black fruits, game, mocha... very complex. Full boded, perfectly balanced, with ripe and silky tannins. Gorgeous long finish... Drinks very well now but will develop even more complexity, so keep. (93 pts)


2004 Umathum, Blaufränkisch, Austria
Smooth with some chocolate. Odd in taste but elegant and very pure. (89-90 pts)



2005 Antinori Tignanello, Tuscany
Ruby with some serious aromas of spices and tobacco. Excellent balance, well structured but somewhat too jammy on the palate. Big vine with a pleasant and long finish. Probably to young so I'll check it once more in about couple of years. (89 pts)
