Hate posting on Freds' wines as the only way you can get them is thru his mailing list but they need exposure and if just a couple of you obtain a 6-pack or so all is well. More sophisticated, svelte, and sassy than the Old & Mature. Most of these vines are in the 25-50 year-old group, making them my contemporaries. Tons of red fruit, honeysuckle, and vanilla hit the schnozz. Good smooth entry, a nice weighty center and a solid 30 second 3-3/4 lapper finish. A layer of round tannins on the finish will carry this bottling another 5-10. 90/92. 17 per bottle on the futures plan.WW [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/biggrin.gif[/img]
