1997 Chateau Potelle Mt. Veeder

[brappy]

Have brought some of this home. The first bottle I drank, I couldn't get over the bret. The second bottle, I let sit for awhile.... overnight before the brett went away. Not entirely but close. The wine is now sporting beautiful fruit with just the right amount of oxidation. I have to agree with WWs ageing possibilities if not add a couple of years to the wine before it really starts to decline. It does seem to be in a state of closure, but should come out of that soon. Or with a bit of decanting (hours). WW's scoring of this wine is right on at this point but may go up soon.... or down, but that's not likely.

I'll update this with the next bottle I open. I hope WW does the same.
