Barone Ricasoli Chianti Classico Riserva Rocca Guicciarda 2006
This is my Halloween wine, I like it so much. The color combination is a bit weird. I really want to try a nice Amarone but it feels like a waste to party on it...

Dandelion Vineyards 'Lionheart of the Barossa' Shiraz, 2008, Eden Valley
Paul Cluver Pinot Noir 2008
I found it while watching the Travel Chanel. You are supposed to cellar it from 5 to 7 years but I tried it anyway. Really good!

RouteStock Cellars 2007 Pinot Noir "Route 99W", Willamette Valley
Finca el Puig Priorat 2003
It was one of the last wines that I tasted during a wine expo. At that point it seemed amazing so I had to order it. I kept if at home for a couple of months but tonight it was the right time to open it. I was supposed to spend the weekend in Barcelona but the flight got cancelled due the a snow storm. With no better option at sight, I just returned home and opened a bottle. The aroma was as I remember it but the taste was so strong. It is a really heavy wine that maybe you shouldn't drink while being extremely pissed off. It remined med of a portwine for some reason. I have one more priorat at home and I am hoping that it won't be that extreme.
Beckmen Vineyards Cuvee Le Bec 2007
LAN Gran Reserva 2002, Rioja

Stoneleigh Sauvignon Blanc, 2009
Palandri Estate Shiraz 2007
I don't remember much of its taste now but I liked it a lot.
Brilliant garnet in colour with glowing purple highlights, this Shiraz has aromas of blackberries and cracked black pepper, with the spicy characters and vanillin accents that result from the use of American oak barrels. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and rich, with spicy, peppery fruit accented by toasty oak. Firm tannins add grip to the finish.
