May 9, 2022 - Ready to go with a short decant. Powerful and silky, with resolved tannins and plush mouthfeel. A textured Napa red, if you will. Went great with Korean Galbi made at home.

April 1, 2022 - 9 years since my last bottle- two hour decant is about right. Big and bold upfront and a bit disjointed midway through to an above average finish. This is probably in its prime but I’ll revisit my last bottle in another 3-5 years.

January 22, 2022 - J’avais besoin d’un gros vin pour mon faux filet et ce pahlmeyer 2008 est parfait. 14 ans dans le corp mais il commence peine à s’ouvrir. Du gros fruit, des tannins fondus mais l’élevage encore perceptible. Il va assurément encore se bonifier. La prochaine dans 5-10 ans !
