Friday, January 28, 2005 - Dinner With Delyap and the Gang (Vancouver, B.C.): Ray Signorello brought us a special treat - a bottle of his rare, old vines P.S. He told us only 40 cases of the wines were made per year and 1996 was his last year with this fruit. From a vineyard owned by the Gamble family with vines over 110 years old (planted in the 1870s). This wine was mammoth. Inky and black. Densely tannic and not yet ready for primtime, the wine foreshadowed its excellence with a complete, mouthfilling presence, including a thick, rich midpalate. A shame more people will not taste this. If you have any, leave it alone for 10 years at least.
