Saturday, October 9, 2004 - I was dreading making a mistake, given the WA roccomendation this could last till 2012...straight out of the bottle this wine sang with chocolate dominating, smoking tobacco and some rather severe earth, shrooms...a healthy chunk of earth, oak, still great acid to fruit to tannin balance, smooth texture, fair tannins, good extraction --- and then this greenish thing going down the middle, complimentary I suppose - my wife says honeydewish - what could cause this? Oak regiment? '96 was ripe enough - this dissipates after an hour or so ...As always this is a delicious, balanced and worthy wine - always used to be worth the buy...this was the last vintage I purchased.
What are the rules in regards to labeling for alcohol?...this bottling had none!
