- winoweenie - 04-14-2003 After the success of his Affinity Bob added 2 other vinyard bottlings to his lineup, this Howell and a Mt. Veeder.Inky to the rim, a powerful bottle that really personifies the fruit almost as well as Randys' bottlings. Nose is starting to open with lots of black fruits, spices, a scoce of chocolate and a blueberry undertone. Strong entry, solid middle and a 4-lapper finish.Still needs another 2-4 to resolve some tannins. Killer stuff. 91/88.43 by the box. WW |
