Friday, December 2, 2005 - Another Jekyll-and-Hyde wine that needs a lot of air to resuscitate its stuff. Straight out of the bottle, this was bloated and buttery like a cheap California Chardonnay, all its detail suffocated by oak. I've never had a wine that crawls out of such an oaky coccoon other than from bottle age, but that's what this one did. Within two hours the proportions became leaner, and the acidity began to better delineate its flavors. It remained luscious with a marked custard and key-lime flavor, but showed a nice mineral inflection and actually became quite refreshing.
