Nose: 89, Palate: 88-89. Tasted blind and featured as a 'ringer' in a line-up of Pahlmeyer Reds & Merlot wines. This came out as less complex when compared to its big brothers, but still an excellent wine.

Dark luscious garnet, full bodied Tons of dark fruit still present. Faint vanilla and oak. Allspice, pencil lead Dry, more tannin then i would have guessed. Lots of cassis, dark fruit. Medium plus finish, nice minerality. Wet gravel.
Wine is drinking at its peak. I would drink the rest of this vintage over the coming year.

Drinking great straight out of the bottle. Perfectly balanced, dark berry notes, smooth finish with a touch of sweetness versus dry tannins. Fantastic bottle drinking very well now.

Much better in its heyday. This one is declining. Drink up!

Nice wine that is easy drinking with nice fruit and subtle tannins. Don’t see this improving any so would drink in the next few years
