The bottle you got is one of the "first offs" which means first off the bottling line and it got too much air. <br />And now is fine.<br />As for the white, I'll hold a couple. Actually, I bottled a few mags. and plan on holding them longer term, too.<br />Best, JimFlorida Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08425683028082383050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-272356477626694495.post-50397970505260130222010-09-09T11:38:58.179-07:002010-09-09T11:38:58.179-07:00Luli-

They were only $90 or so.<br /><br />Jim-<br /><br />Any way you can hold a bottle or two to have with me or sell me? I'm really curious to see what happens with that wine. I talk about it everywhere I go. Still holding the syrah. Just let me know when I can drink it.the vlmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01721550516880594363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-272356477626694495.post-37447108170094779682010-09-08T10:59:51.586-07:002010-09-08T10:59:51.586-07:00FWIW, we opened my '08 skin-fermented SB the o...FWIW, we opened my '08 skin-fermented SB the other night for friends and it is about twice as good as the bottle we shared in Durham. It appears to be gaining both depth and length and was the Thunderbird bottle among some very upscale competition that night.<br />It also seems to be gaining color - why I have no idea.<br />Best, JimFlorida Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08425683028082383050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-272356477626694495.post-45707711673933846292010-09-07T08:33:51.251-07:002010-09-07T08:33:51.251-07:00Oslavje has always been my faovrite radikon white....Oslavje has always been my faovrite radikon white. I think it takes on a bit of honeyed character with age, with a softer more supple texture. <br /><br />It's radikon's merlot i've been craving.
