Still delicious on night 2.

More than drinkable on night 3.

You just have to love this stuff at the price! [welldone.gif]

I have had this wine 3 times and I like it but not near as well as the last 3 vintages. It just does not have the agressive or intense character as much as the last 3. So far my favorite has been Palliser Estate 2008 from Martinborough. If you can find it you should try it. It sells for $19. I think that Marlborough had some issues with overcropping in 2008. It was a major increase in production from their record. One other one that was very good was Wither Hills which is from Marlborough. They also have a single vineyard called Rarangi but is not yet here in the US.
