Twitter Wine Reviews - June 2010

Enjoy!
My Twitter Wine Review List for June 2010:
Apparently wines most likely to give you a headache are, in order: sake, merlot, cab sav, chardonnay, syrah and black muscat. Last 2 are?
2006 Du Toitskloof Cellar Shiraz. Platters says: polished leather. I say the brass stud of polished leather. Mmm brass. 6/10. (FOLLOW UP: Ooh. Interesting. I'd rated that wine before. As a 3. It must have been the 45 minute air-ation I gave it. Must have been.)
2006 Blaauklippen Shiraz. Very different for a Shiraz. Blackcurrant. Pretty smooth. Worth another try. 6/10.
2008 Woolworths House Red. Hmrph. Only good after 4 beers. 4/10.
2007 Glen Carlou Tortoise Hill Red. Tastes like turps. A particulary young vintage. The turps that is. 1/10.
2008 Villiera Merlot. Not too gutsy but nice enough for jazz. Thick wif plumb. 7/10.
2007 Vergelegen Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot. Light easy drinking. Plum. Litchi. Totally unncomplicated. Like the alphabet. 7/10.
2009 Kleine Zalze Chenin Blanc. Pear on the sniff. Sultry on the tongue. Like an exotic foreigner. Nca! 8/10.
2006 Flagstone Strata Reserve. Cream soda on the sniff. Good creamy berry pie taste. Really nice! 7/10.
2008 Laborie Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon. It's like some strong forest berries have been left in a cellar. For a while. 5/10.
