2005 Scholium Project Babylon Tenbrink Vineyards - USA, California (11/6/2010)
Decanted for 3 hours. The nose is somewhat muted, but reveals some dark currants, black fruit with a citrus alcohol element. The palate is huge and expansive. More sour black currants, balanced oak / acidity, and compote. AndrewSGHall's previous note "A feeling like pie filling burnt on the bottom of the oven" sums the mid-palate up nicely. The finish is lengthy, but tannic. This wine requires more decanting but is too delicious to keep until tomorrow. Serious tannins left here. I will tuck my last bottle away for a couple of years. This is an excellent wine, having the components for the long haul. At this point it is delicious with a significant decant. I rate this 92 with 94 point potential. (92 pts.)
