Consumed on 11/27/2008, and rated 88 points. I brought this, and 3 other wines, to a Thanksgiving dinner party. My tasting notes:
Decanted 4 hours. This is the youngest wine of the bunch, and even with a 4 hour decant, is showing it's youth. Very pretty bouquet of strawberries and vanilla. Lots of oak...picking splinters out of my tongue. Needs a year or two to integrate. Big sweet fruit, big oak, big acid, but not too tannic. My least favorite of the group.
