  Outstanding. Tannins have softened to the perfect level. Did not decant.

  This is a beautiful wine. This seems to be a trend this week. My wife and I Ruth are taking 2 weeks in the Galveston, tx area eating great food, escaping winter and enjoying fine wine. That stated, I decanted this wine 90 minutes. This baby still has life, but it is drinking great right now. I would guess another 5 years at least. The legs are many, short and slow. The wine appears garnet colored. There is light sediment in the bottle. It smells like ethanol and verbena with a pleasant finish. The body is full. The wine has fleshy texture with rounded tannins. The wine finishes very long. One of my favorite vintners. I scored this without looking at the community and the community score ended up dead on. Great job crew.

  Wine dinner with hedonists (Metropolitan Grill, Seattle): Pop and pour. The 2008s seem to be singing right now and this is no exception. The Jacquelynn is made in a feminine style with fine tannins and beautiful balance. Delicate notes of licorice and chocolate peek through the cassis, on a bed of firm acidity. I was surprised someone else brought this wine as it seems to fly under the radar. Wine of the night by consensus among 10 tasters.

  Decanted and served. Evolved beautifully as tightly wound black fruit blossomed into high-toned blackberry liqueur floating on refined tannins and acid. Long finish of cassis and toasted earth. Quite a bit of salinity and minerality that some will love and others will not. Showing well now for my palate.
