Community Tasting Note

Friday, November 7, 2008 - Had a single glass before dinner at Craft in LA, so I will reserve a numerical rating for when I can pop a bottle myself.
On the nose this has fairly distinctive zin characteristics, but a little muted - rasberries, blueberries?, dark spice, nutmeg, and oak.
On the tongue it's less defining - there is plum and berry, but the oak is stronger than I prefer in my zins and there is considerable heat still.
This was my first exposure to Bugay so I look forward to revisiting a bottle of my own, but this first impression was not a home run.
