Guess the Wine - wk begin 29/5 revisited (Google Proof?)

Andrew Jordan · Post by **Andrew Jordan** » Tue May 30, 2006 3:32 pm

This weeks wine, and hopefully Google proof:

TASTING NOTE 1
"Ripe, flooded with cassis/blackcurrant fruit. Excellent management of tannin and oak. Very good length".

TASTING NOTE 2
"Black olive, toasty barrel, black fruits of fabulous concentration and depth. Liberal tannins are refined and smooth, giving a seamless texture. It's great now and will reward further cellaring".

Although most of you have proved that you do not need assistance, to help everybody out, I have provided a few options in a couple of the categories.

Country - Australia
State - Vic/Wa/Sa
Region - :roll:

Varietial - Cabernet/Cabernet-Merlot/Cabernet-Shiraz
Year - 1999/2000/2001
Winery - :roll:

Name of Wine - :roll:

Have fun and Google your life away. Will reveal State tomorrow.

WINNER LEADERBOARD - YEAR
1 win - Maximus

RULES
Each week 1 or more tasting notes from published wine critics will be given (that will remain anonymous) that all refer to the same wine. It is then up to the Forum to try and guess what the wine is. Points will be given to each Forum member that guess the correct answer about the wine before it is revealed. The categories that will attract points for the right answers are the following:

Country - Will always be Australia (no points awarded)
State - 2 points
Region - 2 points
Varietial - 3 points
Year - 4 points
Winery - 5 points
Name of Wine - 1 point

Everyday one/two categories will be revealed, which will then allow each Forum member to change their guesses for the remaining categories if they want to. This will continue each day until the wine is revealed. The winner is the person with the most points at the end of the week. Unfortunately, there are no prizes, just a chance to show off your wine guessing prowess on the WWW.

Er, that makes it a little hard for little ol' me, seeing these reviews can't be googled and I don't have any access to any written material. But I'll give it a go after I've thought about it.
