2002 Loring WC Garys' Vineyard

[winoweenie]

Forgot to post on this and the 02 Clos Pepe we had at lunch yesterday. It's been so long since I ventured out to lunch with anyone that I took one of each to opur fav hang-out and met a close buddy. He's really gotten into wine in the past year and is developing a fine pa;ate. Contrary to what Brian says about drinking his juice young,IMHO, this wine has not only kicked up a point aroma-wise but the flavors are blending much more harmoniuosly with a couple of years of bottle age. Same goes for the Pepe. Can't pick a favorite from the two but both are solidly in the outstandy catagory. Still have the other vineyards to try but firmly believe that for my tastes they'll perform the same as these 2 hummers. WW
