Drinking well. Lost most of the red fruits and berries and drinking more like a California Pinot noir. Still a good wine. My last one and just as well.

This was much better than the average CT rating suggests. This is 13 years Old? Tastes half it's age. Well, maybe 4 years younger. But still, it's aged well and in its prime. Paired with shredded chicken thighs in a mushroom sauce. Fantastic!! Need to buy more of this. I have had a few other Rhys wines, a syrah and a chardonnay, and both were excellent. I'm putting Rhys on my permanent search list.

Open for business. Beautiful limpid ruby color, deep flavors of roses and sweet red fruits on the palate. A refined wine of great character and elegance. Really enjoyed this one, one of the best pinots I've had recently.

-- decanted approx. 45 min. before initial taste -- -- tasted non-blind over 3 hrs. --
Very Bearwallow --- relaxed, fruity (red fruits), and some tertiary elements creeping-in now. Seems a bit loose, and lacking in tension, but nonetheless strikes me as ageing well on account of it having everything in good balance/proportion. Drink Now and over the near term.
