Sunday, November 21, 2010 - Dujac, Conterno, Casa Piena, Realm, SQN, Saxum (WSWOTY), Clos Mimi (Dante's): Some might think that is a disappointing rating (for an RP100 point wine) and I might agree. This wine was outstanding, but when your expectations are high... I have had this a few time now and I think it is in a tweener phase. Past it's lush baby fat, not quite showing all of its complexity, perhaps asleep a bit, the oak seemed too pronounced. Yet, the texture is sexy and juicy. There is still a lot of fruit; black raspberries and blueberries. Pin point balance and a long finish. Not the best at working with foods. This wine had been decanted for 8 hours and maybe that was an issue though i don't think so. FWIW< I would hold these at this point.
