It, also, states on the back of the bottle:

"When served young, this wine is best if allowed to breathe for 1-2 hours"

I opened it tonight, discarded a real cork, and there was no question----this is a much better wine than the 2003 St Innocent Temperance Hill Vineyard. The White Rose Vineyard St Innocent was thicker, richer, darker fruit, more fruit, sweeter but still a little tart, and much more pleasurable,--------but make no mistake, this still this needs some time.....Board-O perhaps this is a good example of what you were suggesting! Although I would characterize this as dark cherry, or darker fruit than the Temperance Hill Vineyard; still, this fruit was tart---and, I think this will improve with bottle age..... 89-92 points more like an 89 now, but anticipated with age- it could go to a 91/92
