I reviewed this wine because it is fairly popular, and I am trying to give readers a feel for my palate. Paker gave this wine 93 points - almost a classic. I find it to be very straight forward, oaky, a bit hot and lacking in significant structure. This is not to say it is a difficult wine to enjoy. It is very nice, and most people will love it, but I do not consider it to be a 90+ wine.Brad Rothmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16442867661760901712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1778384097311004854.post-40878055417955377612007-09-09T08:45:00.000-06:002007-09-09T08:45:00.000-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Brad Rothmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16442867661760901712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1778384097311004854.post-17812862946055339632007-09-09T05:50:00.000-06:002007-09-09T05:50:00.000-06:00$55, very expensivewineYhttp://www.winey.infonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1778384097311004854.post-56398812003870368202007-07-27T12:55:00.000-06:002007-07-27T12:55:00.000-06:00I love your pictures, they're such a visual shortcut to a wine review.GollyGumDropshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08189287208823784299noreply@blogger.com
