Friday, January 23, 2009 - Tasting at Jen's Place (Santa Monica, CA): -- popped and poured --
-- tasted non-blind --

NOSE: slightly reductive at first ... blew away after 30 - 45 min.; baked cherries; sandalwood spice emerged after an hour or so.

BODY: superfine particulate matter suspended in the wine; ruby core, turning to burnt sienna at edges (this appears too brown for its age); medium bodied.

TASTE: a bit hot and tannic; cherry; spices emerged as it opened up ... also smoothed-out some with some air time. A little better than the '05 bottling.

B: 50, 4, 12, 15, 6 = 87
