  Excellent 22 year old PN at a fantastic dinner at Flemings celebrating my daughters 22nd birthday. Perfect cork. This Garnet has aged exceptionally well and is still in excellent shape....silky mellow & smooth with sufficient fruit remaining and complex nuances from aging. Probably peaking right now on a very long drawn out plateau. Absolutely NO negative tastes, odors or other side effects from aging. I was very pleased with it and am glad I have two more bottles to enjoy in the future. Based on our experience with this bottle, they should hold up well for another 5-7 years or more.

  Had richer fruit than its sister wine today, same brilliant red color in the glass, beautiful pinot nose followed by rich fruit in the mouth, ripe but not forward, average finish and flavors.
