Home Dinner after Silver Oak Release Party 2007/2/3

 Year  Wine  Price  Rating 
2002 Chateau St. Jean Cinq Cepages, Sonoma
Normally at $60, Marina has it at $40. I'm not 100% of the conditioning. This wine is too tight to be expected. Herbal, licorice, blackberry, cassis, vanilla and hint of coffee. It's the bitter finish that's a bit concerning. It may be shocked by cold climate. Or it may be the natural progression of this wine which is not known to age well. Two bottles from Marina, consistent notes. - so - ws
59.99 ***
2003 Les Hauts de Pontet-Canet, Pauillac
Toasty, black currant, simple, a hint of vegetal, may be an off bottle, but not sure. - so - ws
22 **
2003 Purisima Canyon Cabernet, Napa Valley
K&L's own label. Dark plum, vanilla, toasty oak, simple but concentrated - so - ws
15 ***½
