Tuesday, January 2, 2007 - Opened 2PM, immediately showing strong aromas and flavors of mixed berries, just short of jamminess. Strong tannins, not overwhelming, no hint of alcohol, balanced in mouth.
By 10 PM, showed all of the good characteristics of the vintage, i.e. the smokiness, sweet fruit and concentration.
I don't know what the controversy is about this juice— it is very very fine now, and in 10-20 years, I imagine spectacular.
