Nose was sublime, but the fruit and finish just couldn't keep up. Last had this bottle in 2016, with notes that it was big and opulent. This was more linear, tart, red fruited, with a short to medium finish. Not a bad wine by any means, just not up to the lofty standards set by Pott. Maybe the vintage finally caught up with the wine?

Still lovely with a goose dinner. Let it slow oxidiize for about 6 hours. Very nicely balanced. Second day, still nice but tannins take over a bit. Stll nice with food, a little “dusty” on its own.

More proof that a good winemaker can overcome a weak vintage. Red fruit. Nicely balanced. Fine, smooth tannins. Long finish.
