Sunday, March 15, 2009 - Phil & Ena's (Phil & Ena's home): Decanted for 1.5 hrs. Served blind with leg of lamb, which i would rate in the high 90's. our gracius host served these wines bline, with the 01 caymus special selection(90) and the Hedges red mountain reserve(91). He did not tell us the variatal nor the origin. I was able to pick this as a claret, however was shocked at the the caliber. Incrediable nose that filled the room with floral notes, blue fruits, smoke and terroir (I would rate the nose a(98) and the palate an (82) which was thin, metalic, with mineral notes and a short finish. On the bright positive side the palate seam to improve over the 3+ hrs. it took to consume, suggjesting improvement is in its future. Concenus was #3 in the group.
