Popped and poured; enjoyed over three days. Better on Day 2 and Day 3. The 2021 pours a deep ruby with near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of red brambles, green bell pepper, tobacco, purple flowers, dry gravely earth, soft baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and satisfying. I don’t drink Pride very often but there is a lot to like. Super consistent. Drink now with some patience but better after 2026 and through 2041

2006, much better after being open a few hours. Still drinking well but not going to get any better. Drink now.

totally surprised me. 10 yrs old and still packing gobs of fruit. Color was bright purple, hardly faded at edges.

Very, very, young. Needs to be sat on a bit, but it should pay off. Sour cherry, bramble, pomegranate.

This wine finally grew up! Tastes last year and it was youthful and fruit forward. Now, nuance driven, Bordeaux-style aromatics, leaner on the palate and super fancy delicious.

Pop and pour, this is at it's prime. Expressive nose. Knitted together well, no elbows, just smooth with a med long finish.
