Community Tasting Note

wrote:

Saturday, July 24, 2010 - Chablis, Melville Clonal Blending and The Round 3 Let 'Er Rip (My House In The South OC): I still have one more bottle so the next time I drink this, which will be my final bottle, I willd decant it thoroughly and then form a final impression. As to this bottle noted here, was pulled from my cellar, poured to a decanter and then the discussion ensued. The air it started to pull in did seem to help but my impression I took from the short aeration it saw left me again not as impressed as others. I would note my previous bottle did get a decant, a good sized amount I'll add, and my impression on that bottle was similar. Gerry Frayer, who I do respect for his palate, commented that he thought this wine would get much better, underneath some of the youth. For me, aside from the decanting commitment I will do again the next time, I just think Justin has made wines of equal or better stature and I don't see what Parker saw.
