7/10/2010 - slywka7 wrote: flawedI opened the bottle and something seemed a little off. So I poured a glass and took a whiff. I got the smell of stewed tomatoes. So then I took a sip. Barely any fruit and it was a hot alcoholic mess. At first I thought that perhaps the bottle was past it's prime. I have always heard people say that the Kosta Browne wines can't stand the test of time. I then remembered I had a 2004 Sonoma Coast like a month ago and it was great! I did a little research online and concluded that the bottle was definitely flawed. It wasn't corked but I think it was cooked. I remember the cork had receded into the bottle a little bit, which I believe if it was cooked it would have popped out the top. Not really sure what to make of this but we were obviously all bummed out. |

7/18/2010 - slywka7 Likes this wine: 92 pointsThis was put together nicely and got even better as we drank it. Had some nice black cherry and cola flavors that just went over your palate like a wave. This was much better than the Russian River Valley bottle I had two years ago and I think the additional age did it some good. |

2005 Kosta Browne Pinot Noir Sonoma Coastmore |
11/23/2010 - slywka7 Likes this wine: 92 pointsThis 2005 wasn't as fresh as it was a year or two ago but it was still very good. A lighter body, it had a wonderful nose of dried cherry, cinnamon, and cola. Th palate was equally impressive with some licorice, sour cherry and other red fruits. Has a fantastic 25-30 second finish as well. I definitely prefer these younger but I have to say that they also do age. |

Excellent sweet fruit, mouthfilling and extremekly long finish. Incredible richness, balance and overall sructure. |

12/27/2010 - ginfizz wrote: 92 pointsComing into its own, with the totally appealing KB Pinot profile of black cherries and red vines. Smoky sweet oak, warm spices (cinnamon, clove?) and great balance make these wines the "Richebourg" of California for me. I hope for more complexity, but they are so delicious, why wait? |
