February 10, 2024 - ESTG does Pegau-Palooza (Seattle, WA, USA): Mmm, deep, roasted, a sweet core, really showing the ripe aspect of the hot 1990 vintage. Sheesh, there is LOTS of structure, long, tannins showing up more over time.

August 19, 2023 - Bright and fresh strawberries and tobacco. Iron on the finish. Perfectly mature.

August 17, 2023 - overlooked too easily, lovely density and complex plums. All my previous notes holds for this bottle. Make sure to serve cellar cool though- too warm and it struggles. 95-97pts

August 3, 2023 - Light color and substantial amber rim. Bouquet had initial mushroom-fungi funk covering over some wood and cigar. Surprisingly to me, the wine significantly improved after 3 hours. Fungi-funk completely gone and some dark fruits, cigar box, leather, and a Burgundy-like feel. Score reflects the rating after the 3 hours.

August 2, 2023 - Orange-tinted red color. Sweet wild strawberries dominate the nose with a hint of orange. Notes of red berries, gripping sour acidity, a bit of funk, and lots more. Deliciois and perfectly aged and integrate.
