  5/26/2019 - Phil.Kennedy Likes this wine: 90 Points

  Bought a case around 2008, and opened a bottle about every two years. Conclusion: full bodied and robust but nothing special. Rating maybe 85; and actually the WH Pino Rose by comparison was excellent. Down to five bottles of the Pinot now still in a temp controlled wine cellar. Opened it two days ago, not expecting much. Then after two hrs of air the wine hit me like a train, big, balanced and full. Very dark in color, jammy and purple, ripe berries, cedar box. Not your French Cotes d’Or, but now an excellent excellent wine. I must admit, however, that I would not have guested that it would develop like this. Will improve for at least 3 more years. Highly recommended to the patient person with a real wine cellar.
