Thursday, November 12, 2009 - Wanted something delicious while unwinding after a hard day of work, but was somewhat disappointed here. Our first two bottles from '08 were PnP'd at room temp., & were awesome: rich, plush, with surprisingly nice acidity & soft tannins. Even the color was more pure & less cloudy. Made me wonder if I'd drunk my `07's too cool? Here, this 3rd bottle was stored & served at 57 degrees, and damn if it didn't drink more like the the `07s: a little monolithic, artificial tasting, & by comparison, quite flat.

These Dookers may just need to be drunk quite early. Alternatively, I'm storing & serving my remaining `08s at room temp...[16% a.b.v.; $22.00].
