San Francisco Tasted Saturday, February 26, 2005 by mdefreitas with 492 views
Bold, fat, buttery. Hints of sherry, but quite fresh. Low in bubbles, but still fun.

Electric nose of minerals, ripe fruits and chalk. Wonderfully fresh and lengthy.
Big, monolithic and hard. Needs time, but will it ever taste like pinot? Nore like a zin!
Big, rich and a bit hot, but surprisingly well buffered by fruit. Quite enjoyable for the style.
Classy and deep. Good core of perfectly ripe fruit. Balanced and seamless with silky tannins.
Well rounded and quite Bordeaux-like. Complex and ready to drink, yet will improve.
Big and glyceral. Oily and ripe, a bit too ripe and big? Unbalanced.
Big and fat. Sweet and rich, lots of sugared plums and spice.
