Past it’s prime but still had a bit of life left. A good amount of acid and minerality though mostly plum notes and stewed fruits. A good amount of length. This was beautiful five years ago.

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.

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

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.

Bright and fresh strawberries and tobacco. Iron on the finish. Perfectly mature.
