2/14/2015 - bzukaitis wrote: 91 pointsSorry to piss anyone off, but is there anything wrong with talking about how good the grape flavor is? That is what this wine represents. Intense, concentrated grape. I know it's sexier to say, " tobacco with leather touched with boysenberry and eucalyptus," but is there anything wrong with grape? That is what we are drinking, correct? Are there other flavor and aromas? Yes. But why ignore the initial flavor profile. This is great wine, period. Everyone else can tell you what other aspects to expect. Good wine should be inherent. I am starting to think reviews are brainwashing of original thought. "This is what your wine tastes like. You don't recognize that? You don't deserve to drink this wine." Fuck you if you feel someone that doesn't know as much about wine as you. Don't have them drink your $200 bottles, but don't limit them to what they buy and drink. Hopefully, they will like what you offer and get more integrated. If not, no one stole you birthday if they did not appreciate your wine the "correct" way. Maybe it will start their journey in their own direction. Share your wine. Don't judge others tasting or their opinions. Offer information and suggestions. Don't be the person outside the abortion clinic. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (2) |

Good, not great Zin. Not sure if this will get any better, either. Drink now, but decant to mellow out the sweet. |

2007 Beaulieu Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherfordmore |
5/31/2014 - bzukaitis wrote: 90 pointsBeautifully drinking '07 Napa Cab. Running low on '07's. Actually have more heavy hitting '05 and '06 left, which I am not complaining about. Could have waited on this one, but would not wait too long. Maybe 6-18 months. I can picture those not big on oak not liking as much. Keeps getting better the longer its open. |

2007 Spring Valley Vineyard FrederickWalla Walla Valley Red Bordeaux Blend more |
11/24/2012 - bzukaitis wrote: 91 pointsHad last almost 1 year ago and has totally smoothed out and integrated dark fruit with smooth tannins. CT window shows drink through 2021 but drinking very well right now. Not sure f this will continue to improve or if this is peaking. My guess is drink sooner than later, but I hate missing the wonsdow on good wine and am conservative with my estimates. I have 2 more and will try to hold off another year but I have little to no self control. |
