1993 Ch Souverain Winemakers Reserve

[winoweenie]

Terribly dissapointing from two angles.1) Was suppesed to be a 94. 2) this wine had the most distracting green olive overlay I've ever encountered. Completely overpowered the fruit. Hope this is the only bottle of the 93 out of the 6-pack of supposed 94s. Will check when I get back from Tuscon this P.M. NR

I had this last probably in 2002 and wasn't thrilled either, pales when placed between the '92 and '94. Definately a drink 'em if you got 'em wine. I sure wish I had some '94s left of the Reserve, one hell of a wine. Still got a couple regulars that are drinking well, but oh that Reserve... [img]http://wines.com/ubb2/biggrin.gif[/img]

That is sad to hear, I know I would be extremely let down to find that out. My condolences.

Opened the last of the 6-pack yesterday for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. The green olive note was just a component rather than the whole she-bobby and finally the black fruits started showing. 'Bout time! Still not exciting but enjoyable. WW
