11/21/2012 - lebo9968@gmail.com wrote: 90 pointsMuch lighter in style than the 2009 and the 2011. Drinks like a French village wine. Classic old world style. Pleasant. Like it better than the 2011, not as much as the 2009. The price seems a bit high, but a very well made, old-world style PN from OR. |

11/15/2012 - lebo9968@gmail.com wrote: 88 pointsNot as good as remembered. Somewhat typical old school Rioja, but it didn't have the depth of flavor or aromas that I was expecting. Seemed tight, but never opened up over 2 days. Maybe try a decant, double decant, or just sit on them for a number of years to see where they go. |

10/26/2012 - lebo9968@gmail.com wrote: 89 pointsNot as good as the 2009. Lots of bright red fruit on the initial nose and palate. Raspberry, red cherry, red licorice, some cola on the back end. Seemed disjointed and a bit rough around the edges. Needs time to rest? To come together? |

10/21/2012 - lebo9968@gmail.com wrote: 93 pointsWow - this is a $9 wine! Unreal. Pretty golden yellow color. Big nose of minerals, lemongrass, limestone, wet stone. Some tropical fruit. Palate crisp with lots of fruit and mineral complexities. Moderately long palate. Beautiful mouthfeel. Perfectly balanced between fruit and mineral. Has all the best to offer of a new world as well as an old world wine. If you didn't know what this was, you could guess it to be a nice Burgundy, or a medium to high end CA chard. |

10/12/2012 - lebo9968@gmail.com wrote: 93 pointsGreat PN. Had a great balance in style between old world and new world. Approachable with pleasant fruit and cola of new world wines but with acidity, earth, length and structure of old world wines. Great wine at a great price point. |

10/8/2012 - lebo9968@gmail.com wrote: 94 pointsBeautiful medium bright red color. No signs of age on the color at all. Nose and palate were full and expressive upon opening, but developed even more depth over the course of the evening and even the next day. Fantastic wine. Drinking well now, but seemed like it could on for a long time. |

10/3/2012 - lebo9968@gmail.com wrote: 93 pointsWow, this wine was showing great. Very inky dark purple color, almost black. Nose of dark fruit. Plum, black cherry, black licorice, tar, black pepper. Palate of similar dark fruits with a great minty and long finish. Great balance and depth. This wine has improved each time we've had it. Unfortunately this was our last bottle. Would love to see where it goes and how long it will take to get there. |

9/15/2012 - lebo9968@gmail.com wrote: 87 pointsDissappointing. Just not much of any fruit left in this wine at all. Consumed over 4 hours, and aerated at times as well. Just not much there. Could it be in a dumb phase and closed? Hoping it would open up, but just not happening. After 3.5 hours, got a hint of eucalyptus, but then it disappeared. |
