Another of the wines from Jerry Meads' estate. Opened this Sunday noon. Tremendous VA and other odors not meant for sensitive noses. Knowing Kens' wines sometimes are funky, I let it sit on the staging shelf in the cellar until today. Suddenly the nose shows tart cherry, spice, and forest floor with bricking on the edge. Can't believe this transformation but it's the 5th bottle I've done this with. A lovely bottle from a very difficult vintage. Have a 90 Bates Cab sitting I opened Mon. WW
