Wednesday, December 22, 2010 - Mostly tasty wines with Christine's shabu shabu. (Christine's): Jay knows I’ve always liked this wine and it’s always nice to check in on his apparently endless supply. I’m a little surprised by the deep gold color. This bottle certainly shows some more advanced characteristics on the nose. There’s a lot more petrol showing than a bottle I had just two years ago, there’s more of a desiccated apricot character and some intriguing brown spice aromas. Ahhh, but on the palate, the wine is just groovy. It’s intense, yet harmonious with lip smacking acidity nicely balancing the sweet dried apricot and pineapple fruit. There’s some nice secondary development and a certain creaminess to the wine that’s just delightful. Drinking well now, though no hurry here. In fact, I know a bunch of folks that would still consider this too young. A/A-.
