Made a Cougar Gold Grilled-Cheese last nite and decided to open this bottle. I have never been a big fan of SO until this vintage when it seemed that Justin let the fruit do the walkin' and it was big 'nuf to overcome the oak. This bottling has integrated into a lovely quaff. Caresses the tongue on entry like Johnsons'BO does to my Great-Grandsons posterior. A weighty center palate and then a finish reminscient of Agassi at set-point. A solid 4-lapper, maybe even a 4&1/2 but I was too tired to get overly analystic. Really the best SO in my experience. Think this was the vintage it may have turned the corner. Yummski. WW
