Bowling Green, OH Tasted Sunday, February 28, 2010 by joshwoodward with 477 views
Crazy tight - tannic, acidic, oaky and extracted. But also really delicious. This will take a long time to settle down, check back in a decade.

Simple, new-world style.
Very new world, simple, ripe.
Nice stuff. The group wasn't sold on this one, but I really enjoyed its mellowed structure and slightly medicinal smoothness. Nice age.
Truly interesting! Green olive bomb. I'll say it - there are some downright green flavors here, but I'm not afraid of that.
Smooth, juicy, slightly simple for the style, but very tasty.
Very smooth and easy drinking, but good complexity and balance. The age is right in the butter zone.
Delicious juice. Honeyed orange peel. A little light in acidity, but enough to lift it up.
Tasted blind, had no clue what it was. Very un-zinny, old-world style.
