  Over the hill at this point. Falls in the category of “interesting” but should have been consumed many years ago.

  Totally unique, I have drank about 2 cases of this wine, I lost this bottle, tonight the wine was port like, the cork fell apart, decanted and strained, smooth, no alcohol taste, good fruit, earthy, never sweet, Amarone and port like, drank easily, drank with rack of lamb and spinach pie, won’t find again.

  Bin end mispriced for $7. PNP. Cork perfect. Color ruby w light edges. Nose has cherry and oak. Palate the same. Typical California PN w 10 yrs bottle age for this price. No problem. I am not sure that there is any upside to waiting - drink up I say

  My last bottle, a magnum, Thanksgiving meal, a great bottle, good fruit, complex with balanced finish, oak nicely integrated, this might have been one of Chalone's last good pinots as the 2010 and 2012 are much more alcoholic and unbalanced, drank with Turkey, doubt that I will find a bottle of this again.
