TN: 2006 Schrader Georges III CS with a 50 hour decant!!

WINE TALK
1

So I sit here with a few tastes more from Monday nights TRB dinner and just poured the Schrader Georges III, of which I might have had 3 ounces or so.
Let me say this. Holy friggin crap! It’s awesome!
Sexy, lush and still vibrant. Not a bit of age or sign of too much air in sight. Keep in mind this has now been open for 50 hours. Wow.
Dark and complex with notes of camphor, crème de cassis, black cherry cola, sassafras, amazing.
Tar, slight soy notes, multi dimensional and incredibly deep and full. A super long finish of 2 plus minutes. Its velvety and plush. I would love to taste this one in 3/5 years.

95/100

Ok, by show of hands–who’s not taking their Schrader allocation this year?

I’m not…at least not the Zins or the Double Diamonds. But I’ll take the other offer… [berserker.gif]

Tex you can come too. He’s a really nice guy if you haven’t met him and we already know how good the wines are.

Speaking of – how is that Napa trip looking?

MFP - I haven’t had time to write up my notes, but this was my WOTN. The Schraders were outstanding. I’d never had them and can’t believe how good they are.
