2001 Turley Old Vine 2000 Rafanelli

Both quite correct. The Turley opened up to more spice and was the clear winner...but I like big wines. The Rafanelli was more straightforward and evolved less with time in the glass whereas the Turley was different with each sip. Paid the same for both. Would do the Turley agian. Might pass in the Raf. High alcohol in both made the night quite fun for all. No reports on the next morning yet... [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/wink.gif[/img]
