Chateau Teleki-Villany



Vintage: 2005
Type: Cabernet Sauvignon
Country: Hungary - Villany



This Cabernet Sauvignon, from the Villany region of Hungary, was enjoyable and full of flavour. It had great deep colour and a pleasant bouquet. As Hungarian Cabernet Sauvignons go it was middle of the pack, which means that it is a good wine (though I find Hungarian wine a bit over-priced).

Groote Kaap

Another good wine from South Africa. The colour was very dark, and the wine itself was quite fruity with a hint of oak. Big and bold and good.

Quinta do Poco do Lobo



Vintage: 1993
Type: Cabernet Sauvignon
Country: Portugal



This wine was a bit of a surprise, as it seems to have been on the wine rack for a long time. How else would a 1993 vintage still be around! This wine was well aged; it seemed to be past its prime, but nevertheless a good glass. The colours were good, the aroma pleasant and the taste subtle and refined.

Las Casas



Vintage: 2007
Type: Cabernet Sauvignon
Country: Chile - Maule Valley



I liked this wine, though I suspect that it needs a bit more age on it before it really shows what it can do. It will certainly need a while to breath if you try it now. You can find more about it here
