Open for an hour, not decanted. One of the lighter red colored Oregon PNs I've ever seen, still quite cloudy, lighter body. Excellent nose of dark plum and black cherry. Palate is more complex, nice smooth coater, loads of black cherry, just a hint of pepper, very nice. Pepper lingers on the intense finish. Drinks nicely now, another year in the cellar won't hurt it, though.

Concentrated nose. Needed an hour or so to open. Lots of dark fruit, but none very distinctive yet, needs time to integrate. Fine mouth feel. Overall a fun wine to drink. This shold benfit with some additional age.

TB: Popped and decanted for about an hour and a half before dinner consisting of baked salmon with squash and zucchini. Bright, light marroon color with no bricking. Nose showed a dark fruit profile including blackberry, black cherry, and touch of nutmeg. Palate shoed a nice mouthfeel with black cherry and nutmeg. Fairly complex wine. This is drinking very well with some air time.

On the decline but still excellent. Very nice red lithe fruit. VA adds some lift. Good structure. Nice job at 16 years, Adam.
