Always a favorite in my book, this wine was met with a little bit of negative feedback, although it is admitedly very young. Big toasty oak upfront with a bit of a brackish scent. Like the '04 J. Christopher Charlie's Vineyard. Russel (Bill) said he was not impressed and prefered the K. I found blackberry and roasted plum after 20 mins or so, with mild tannins and hints of cassis.
Sam chimed in with a bit of Cullen poo (his son's diaper) mixed with "rotting plum, which mellows after a bit".
It needs time to age in bottle, but after we decanted it and let it rest, it was pretty tasty. Not as good as the '04, but it could develop into a serious wine. I find that all the Betz wines need time to sit. Can any producer wait like Gallo and not release wine until it is time?
