- Glass_A_Day - 10-15-2004 Poor, just plain poor. Started out with nome nice red fruit, especially cherries. Then lost it in a hurry. Very poor QPR. Maybe an 85... - winoweenie - 10-15-2004 When did you buy this and how was it stored? Nothing relates to my tasting notes. WW - Bucko - 10-15-2004 They don't call it Silver Joke for nothing ... - californiagirl - 10-15-2004 Ouch - Glass_A_Day - 10-16-2004 Bought it upon release from local shop. Picked up the day it was delivered, so storage shouldn't have been an issue. Maybe a bad bottle. No TCA or Brett, but it did have a very green nose to it after an hour open. Spectator gave it an 87. I didnt' even see that. Of course they gave the 01 Montelena Estate a 69, so go figure. All I can vouch for is my experience which was sub par. THe WS review is below: Cola and coconut aromas lead to a firm band of spice- and currant-laced Cabernet fruit that picks up a cedary edge on the finish, where the tannins become more evident, giving the aftertaste a drying sensation. Drink now through 2008. 55,195 cases made. (JL) [This message has been edited by Glass_A_Day (edited 10-16-2004).] |
