2013 is drinking beautifully, big red fruit, earth, and olive with long finish. Was told to wait on the 2014 but this one is ready now.

I really can’t remember another time when an Alban Pandora was the third best wine of an evening...but then again, it was preceded by a 2017 Aubert Lauren chardonnay and a 2004 Abreu Thorevelos cabernet. Tough room.

Opened this yesterday. It was good, but it is so much better today. Incredible nose, balance, and elegance. Awesome.

Delicious wine. Drank as a special treat for upcoming dental visit. Lots of tannin and will age. Dark fruit, long finish.

Just got 3 bottles. I had to try it! Wonderful complex blend. Needs at least 5 more years.
