I can't count the number of ...So true as well. I can't count the number of times I'll share a bottle with my girlfriend and we'll diverge wildly in our opinions. It's not that we find different qualities so much as we like certain qualities more or less. Barnyard, oak, and in your face tannin structure are definitely features that we like to different degrees.<br /><br />It was definitely the high level of extraction that stuck out to me, I think. It ended up seeming pretty monolithic to me.Cabfrancophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10408854685852702400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870174261688457109.post-11964143755736763492010-01-25T21:35:38.277-07:002010-01-25T21:35:38.277-07:00I had this recently too and while it was a very go...I had this recently too and while it was a very good bottle of wine, I found it a little oaky and perhaps a bit too extracted (although admittedly I may mix these two up sometimes). My wife liked it alot.<br /><br />Everyone's experience of a wine is a little different, and of course there are variations between bottles, but I just thought I'd share with you my impression.Dan Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11739649376665046151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870174261688457109.post-141192594676978662010-01-25T12:15:14.982-07:002010-01-25T12:15:14.982-07:00Yeah, it seemed like this bottle hadn't blosso...Yeah, it seemed like this bottle hadn't blossomed like yours did. It seemed to be missing the openness and transparency you found. Like it was in the middle of its aging curve--a dumb phase, perhaps. It would be fun to open two or more next to each other, because I bet there would be surprising differences.Cabfrancophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10408854685852702400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1870174261688457109.post-37873318241258840872010-01-25T10:22:30.153-07:002010-01-25T10:22:30.153-07:00Sorry to hear that you didn't like this one as...Sorry to hear that you didn't like this one as much as I did. I was pretty floored by it honestly. I wonder I had a better bottle than you did? The bottle that we had had a lot of secondary characteristics that had developed, so it was a very interesting 20$ bottle of wine.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01194752605118852057noreply@blogger.com
