...the Turley may not have done well in the blind tasting.

The winners seem to be the most "drinkable" with forward fruit.

In a contest like this the complexity and depth seem to get lost or overshadowed by the fruit and a lack of off-tastes.

Almost like the Pepsi Challenge where tasters preferred the sweeter Pepsi in a blind tasting but still preferred to take home Coke to drink.

Let me know how you like the 2009 - you may want to decant it first or at least pour it through a venturi.

It will improve over at least the first hour.
