Community Tasting Note

91 Points

Saturday, September 6, 2008 - Popped & poured, but I let it sit in the glass for over an hour & took a whiff & a taste every 15 minutes or so.
Not quite as good as the '01 when it was young (and at it's best).
Complex nose of toasty oak, black fruit & a bit of spice. Much more reminiscent of Napa than Chile.
This got better with air; very well integrated, and a long pronounced finish.
I'm not making the same mistake of holding these like I did the '01's, I'm drinking the balance of my '04's within the next six months.
5+15+16+5 (90-92)
