Cost ??? TJ Rating = mid eighties, but really inconclusive

I am finally getting around to posting TNs on this. I had this at the 3/29 VC ROcks at Equinox Offline.

This was the last 'theme' wine, which turned out to be the ringer. This wine was a pretty densely dark color if I remember correctly. I got a sense of fairly heavy duty astringency followed by lots of gravel which surrounded the fruit. I am not sure if it was because it was pretty different to what we'd been drinking or what, but this wine did not do it for me. Granted, it followed up the 94 Ridge Monte Bello, so it would be difficult to wow me at that point. But that's all I have on my TNs, so take them for what they are...
