Spicy, barnyard, plummy, bing cheerylies, and earthy aromatics all come across on the palate. Heavy-weight center palate, and one long hummer of a finish. Didn't make any mental notes after the big lunch but from what recollection I have seems to be the most concentrated of the Lorings so far. The 14.9% alc was well overlaid by the massive fruits. Will pay more attention to the next bottle. WW

Had this with lunch yesterday. Nose has progressed adding some leather and a touch of dill. A really concentrated example of what the Santa Rita hills vineyards can produce. Seems like the tannins have receded since last bottle. Drinking well. Score this a solid 91/90. 44 on the mailing list. WW

Anither with lunch today. Lovely nose with floral, spice, earth, and berries. Getting more heft in the mouth and the tannins havbe all but dissappeared. Mity good juice that seems to be on top of its' game. Good juice. WW No change in scoring

The last bottle of this hit the trail last nite. Glad I opened it as it is definately on top and will only start down in another 4-8 months. Delicious, and I'm taking the last bottle from 2 of the 02s to lunch today with BRW. Will follow with a report later. WW
