I brought this wine to dinner almost as a joke, since I stopped buying the Pisoni PN and trashed this Vintage years ago. To my surprise this turned out to be quite nice with a lot of dark berries and nice smooth finish. There was a lot of wines at the dinner so had a bit leftover. The second day it was okay but developed a bit of vinegar notes on the nose and taste but sill had blackberries and blueberries all around. Have one bottle of the 2011 which I will get to shortly.

Excellent with peat, iodine and a ton of hard candy. I drank most of it neat and added some water to the last bit. Sorry I did that as it just dumbed down everything. — a month ago
Very nice with pear, white peaches and other. A bit complex with the selection of grapes in the blend — a month ago
Nice drinker with berry elements and a bit of herbs. — a month ago
Excellent wine loaded with dark fruits, mainly cherries with some earthy notes. Very smooth start to finish. Thought it went better with the food than the other bigger wines we had that evening. Visited the winery about 20 years ago and had a fabulous tasting and tour there. At Anthony’s in HH. — a month ago

Oh boy, how do I handle this wine. Having it young was too intense to drink, having at some point later seemed to be over the hill but now thinking that was a flawed bottle. This one was excellent with a ton of dark fruits mainly blackberries, plumbs and others. Also, had some cola and wood notes. Excellent from start to the long finish. Think it could go for some more years but why bother when drinking so great now. This is my last bottle and that’s fine since I’m an old guy and can’t be buying expensive wines that you need to hold for 10 plus years — 4 days ago
