2005 Loring Brosseau

[winoweenie]

Thot I'd pulled the wrong dude from the cellar but 'twere rite on. Quite a departure from the normal explosive fruit flaunting bottles I've learned to love from this producer. Had to go back and look at the appellation and then it was as clear as me schnozz(not really)... grapes were from the great Chalone ava. Needs time! Really high in the minerality and tannins, with plenty of fruit to carry this hummer for the needed 3-5. I really like this sucker. 91/90 45 on pre-order and a scant 13.6% alc.
Will no doubtless score higher later in life. WW
