Had a taste of this - still tastes pretty young (but a hint of oxidation crept in) - dark cassis fruit and a hint of olive on the palate. Not astounding, a little angular, but a nice wine. 89-90 with a slight plus for being an interesting wine to enjoy now.

My WOTN from the Picnic. Les opened this around noon and let it sit for three hours. Beautiful color and bouquet, flavors of cassis and creme that enveloped the palate. Drinking well now with several years left. Why can't more wines age this gracefully (from Wash and Cali?)

Heitz and deer (Heitz und Hirsch mit René Gabriel) (Restaurant Sempacherhof): Cinnamon, raisins, malt, rather light but well balanced

Very disappointing. After 2 hours of decanting, it was still very harsh and tannic. Generously scored as an 82.
