Closed up tighter than Bucko's mouth after a scolding from Georgie [img]http://205.243.144.43/ubb2/biggrin.gif[/img]. Have recorked 2 days now and the wine is trying to open. I can detect nice Petite Sirah (8%) notes from this blend of 84% Zin, 8% Carignane and the PS but the zin flavors are muted and closed down. Anyone have any experience with this wine or idea as to what's going on? 14.5% Alc/vol., $20

Teachers don't scold, Drew, we "counsel." Let the wine out of the corner and you can bet it'll open up. [img]http://205.243.144.43/ubb2/biggrin.gif[/img]

Drew-bugger. This particular bottling is the only thing from Draper that I've never gotten. Even the 97 I passed on. Cold, hard stuff IMHO. WW

Well, tried a small sample a couple of minutes ago and it seems to be getting better. Definately rustic and a little to much heat showing but not to shabby now. I was thinking....we just lugged this bottle to the beach, 150 miles, could it be the dreaded "Bottle Shock"?
