http://www.winedemocracy.com/TNResults.cfm/WineID=10655
Deep purplish ruby. The nose is loaded with ripe blackburries, blueburries, dark cherries, adn some hints of tobacco and ceder. Full-bodied and intense on the palate, almost to the point of decadent. Well-balanced. I normally don't like this bold and almost in-your-face type of wine but this one is very satisfying. mautique{ts '2008-03-23 00:00:00'}2006 Domaine Herve Azo (86pts, $12)

http://www.winedemocracy.com/TNResults.cfm/WineID=10660
The Saulo (the name of the region's decomposed granite) is a blend of garnacha and carinena and like last year the '07 over delivers for the price. The nose is a mix of fresh mineral floral notes with bits of animal. The entry is fresh with fragrant raspberry fruit and earthy notes to keep it vibrant and dry. Great energy and vitality makes this a fine everyday red for the savvy sipper. Grilled anything will work here. Great value. Emporda sits within the Costa Brava region at the north-eastern extremity of Spain. Close to the French border and the Mediterranean, the area was a favourite of Salvador Dali and seems a perfect fit for this modern Catalan winery.ericangus{ts '2008-03-27 00:00:00'}2003 Norman vinyards Cabernet Sauvignon - Conquest (91pts)
http://www.winedemocracy.com/TNResults.cfm/WineID=10659
This was actually the first of three wines on the night and wound up being the best. This wine has great flavor and a smooth balance. This wine has a great nose that really gets you intrigued into getting it onto your pallet without delay. This was the first time for me and my friends for a wine from this vineyard and we are very excited about trying even more. It was a 2003 vintage and it appears leaving it in the barrel a little longer has paid off. Outstanding wine, get this one while it lasts.
