2002 Angus The Bull - a cabernet blend from Australia. Quiet dark, with a
typically ripe sweet nose. Forward, but I wouldn't call it simple. Sweet and
smooth on palate, fairly soft tannin. Great drinking now and in the near term,
which is what the maker intended. I intend to drink this up over the next year.
It should last a couple of years without problem.

And although this is not wine....

Caol Ila 18 year old single malt - not cheap at $102 Can., but this is a
special single malt! Salty seaweedy nose with a hint of vanilla, and a big
smooth malt on palate. Better with a wee drop of water, it ends very long with
a very slight bitterness and a long smoky finish. Ambrosia!
