2017 Walter Hansel Winery Pinot Noir The South Slope Vineyard

Fantastically aromatic, loaded with black and red cherries and all manner of garden herbs. Medium-full bodied, this is round on the palate with a gentle tug of tannin and very bright acidity. Perfect now, this should hold for several more years. Delicious! Drink now-2028 92

No decant. Beautiful nose of grilled black cherries, grilled rosemary and thyme switches, black pepper, and meat. Medium-bodied, this is high-toned with excellent acidity. Black cherries, cranberry, pomegranate and rust on the palate. This is quite high-toned and acidic for me, I was hoping for a bit more richness and depth of flavor. Drink now. 91

2005 Ancien Domaine des Pontifes Châteauneuf-du-Pape

This has always been an excellent wine and this last bottle is no exception. Still a dark, saturated color with some bricking. Beautifully aromatic of sweet black fruits, eucalyptus, Asian spice box and garrigue. Only medium bodied (it’s drying out), but still fresh. The palate is lacking compared to the exquisite aroma but it was fantastic with Chinese takeout. Palate has blackberries, wild blueberry, balsamic and blood oranges. Drink now. 92.
