This bottle showed better - the least VA of the three I purchased at auction. This is a pretty large-scaled, burly, California Pinot, but not over the top. This is not really losing fruit at all, so should keep in the cellar for a while to come. Doubt it will "improve", as it is probably not as good as it was in its youth - Burg aficionados will probably not like this much.

Spent more time with this bottle. Definitely elevated VA going on here that I'm not really that fond of. Otherwise, a decent aged Cali Pinot.

Recent auction purchase - 1st of 3 bottles.
Opened this to accompany roasted salmon. I've had only one Rhys Pinot before, a 2013 SCM that I opened in August of 2020. This was not nearly as good as that wine, but was good Pinot, and an interesting drink. Abundant spice notes points to quite a bit of oak influence. Very intense acidity, maybe some elevated VA at play here. Very California-esque with good, mature ripe Pinot flavors.

From magnum. This has held up well. No fireworks, but it showed nice mature red fruit, with adequate acidity.
