May 12, 2008 - NY Pete brought this (along w/ the '04 vintage) to the post-Conan offline at Fabio's w/ smokemirrors, waibeens & dank. Both the '04 & '05 are Temp based (the '05 is 64% Temp, 21% Graciano & 15% Garnacha); Pete said that while he likes this one, he didn't like it as much as the '04; smokenmirrors quickly pointed out the this wine seemed hot on the nose...which I agreed with. We then tasted....and the alcohol was compoletely integrated....again pure fruit, well structured, nice supple tannins, and silky smooth again, long finish again. There were some differences, although I'm having trouble recalling them....what I do recall is that I really liked this as well.
