January 13, 2023 - Big cab paired with filet mignon
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 !
October 27, 2021 - Big wine with lots of dark fruit, cassis,and a touch of leather. Drinking really well right now with soft tannins and a medium long finish. Really enjoyed this wine and wish I had more.
October 22, 2021 - This was fantastic wine. Dark fruit, balanced tannins, smooth and wonderful finish. Definitely on the hunt for more of this.
April 5, 2021 - Corked
December 12, 2020 - Dark fruit, mature with a hint of cedar on the nose. Drinking beautifully but can last at least 5 more years
March 23, 2020 - Outstanding wine with a 90 minute decant. Lovely dark fruit and secondary flavors. Could be one of the best of the year. Needs a decant to filter out sediment but also rounds it out. Could last 5 more years.
