FRIDAY NIGHT TASTINGS, January 30, 2008

Present were all the uncles , including Ozzie, except Uncle N, who is still doing deep sea snorkelling with Lady Sea in the Carribean.
First wine to be tasted was done openly. This was Uncle Winepath's 2006 cab. While the winemaker thought this to be a very good wine, most uncles thought it to be only drinkable, maybe better than before. Uncle Winepath considers this vintage to be his crown achievement, dark coffee and vanilla nose with tastes of camphor, incense and caramel. Piroca thought that it had improved because while ageing in the barrel it was topped up with premium wines. Not true! Winepath had only used inferior wines for this purpose.
