February 24, 2023 - On PnP, agree with most notes below. Lotsa acid present on initial taste, with cola, blackberry/raspberry fruits dominant over the 14.1% alcohol. WRN is IMO the best of WS bottlings, and tends to integrate nicely after 10 years or so. Let's see in an hour.
After 30 mins in the glass, dramatic improvement. Spices, nutmeg and cola, with nicely integrated acids now. Almost weightless, and juicy with the acids.
Open an hour now, and delicious, juicy and long, long finish. Classic WRN bottling. Years to go, but ready now. Raising rating to 93 from 90. -

January 30, 2021 - This bottle seemed in better shape than the previous we drank in 2020, even if the cork disintegrated and we had to strain and decant and strain again. As with the earlier bottle, t still quite focused and evolved. Blackberry-raspberry fruit, spice, just some oak, some black truffle. Tonight the cola notes were really singing.

January 4, 2021 - From Magnum. A bit of the RRV super ripeness has faded and it was a decent CA style Pinot. Entirely drinkable but nothing special.
