Still showing well for its age but I don't think additional bottle aging will improve this wine, especially considering the relatively lower acidity. Overall good fruit, structure and balance for a 10+ year ripe Napa Pinot. 92+pts. PJP 2020.

Still drinking well with plenty of heft and a touch of spice. Fruit and acidity in check and a touch of tannin and earth. Not a lightweight PN for sure. Will likely hold my last bottle for another year or so. 92-93 pts. PJP 2017.

First bottle of a six pack. PnP. Cherry, peppercorns, leather, earth notes. An initial acidity blew off and it continued to evolve over the hour we drank it. Well integrated, very smooth, great 15 second finish. Should drink well for years and has some upside. A short decant would have helped.

Still quite lively at this age, but also fairly one-dimensional. Not seeing much evolution.

I could not get past the gunpowder aromas and flavors. I do not enjoy this iteration of Pinot Noir, therefore will not rate.
