November 18, 2007 - I don't think it necessarily warranted a vayner-rant, but it's definitely not a 91 pointer as per the spectator. Definitely too much oak. it's like being hit in the face with a log, and there's way too much butter on the mid palate and finish. The acidity is nice, and there's some explosive tropical fruit, but the oak is a big turn off.

August 28, 2007 - I missed it last night, so this is a day two tasting with what was left in the bottle. A little bit funky out of the bottle, but it softened as it warmed up. Clear pineapple, some fig. A full-bodied wine, but not overpowering. Glad I didn't dump it last night!
