QOTD: Educate my palette!

GV…you crushed it in your tasting notes of the Nicholas Cole Camille in this old episode. I was accidentally sent a bottle of this in an order from Wine Library. I decided to keep it and just opened it this weekend. Upon tasting it I couldn’t really get my head around what was going on with this wine. I saw that you had reviewed it and decided to sip while listening to your review. I bow to your pallette. Especially your comment about how this stuff drops off at the end, making it a great 11 round fighter in a 12 round bout. Guess that’s why I couldn’t figure out if I liked it or not. Came on strong at the beginning but got sloppy and was KO’d at the finish.

picked up the syrah on a visit to Cougar Crest yesterday. Hung around the
tasting room long enough to meet the winemaker(s).

Finally opened the 2003 Cougar Crest Syrah Reserve. This wine, 5 months after you reviewed it, may even be better! 94 was conservative. This was truly a 95-96 point effort. Only sad news is: I won’t be able to come up with another bottle of ‘03. The 2005 Reserve Syrah, which was an alltime year for Washington, is still going for $19.95.

Thank you for introducing me to Cougar Crest….my resolution will be to go visit these guys.
