80 Points

Friday, March 14, 2008 - From reading other notes on this wine there seem to be two batches out there - one with fruit and the other without. This bottle was the later. Upon opening the aromas were very closed. Little more than wood and vine coming out of glass. The glycerin on the palate seemed to carry this through a long finish - just not a finish you want to keep going. I came back to it later and on day two the aromas opened a bit with black and green peppers in the center of the glass and a bit of red fruit slipping up out of the edge. The balance was better and would have been a bit better with a steak to use the butter feel in the mouth -- I hope this gets better next year.
