    Popped and poured. this bottle followed a 06 Hoobs PN that was very tight, so the readiness of this wine took a few sips to adjust to. This wine did not feature the same strong erthiness as some other 05 Lorings I have enjoyed over the last few months, Hungry like the Llama and Brosseau. Instead it had a lighter mouth feel that was still very dark cherry. It’s interesting to me to note the similarities in vintage but difference in bottle development of these different bottlings. Good wine to drink now. (89 pts.)
