A classic case of decant, smell, "something's not right", "tastes ok", just SO subtle VA. It blew off a bit and was quite drinkable, just unfair to score.

PHMG WAG: Cellar Overflow (Down Stream at the Lyon's): 1 hour double decant. Initially this seemed simpler, albeit deeper than the Patty Green before it. Rainier cherry, baking spices, a smidge of cola, and a cranberry note on the finish. Very nice and 91pts. At 4 hours and after the group left, this gained in complexity, lost that slight bitter edge on the finish, and was gently weeping that 9 people missed its evolution. Now-2027.

Rich black raspberry, dark cherry with super smooth velvety tannins. Hints of cigar box on the finish. Great full fruit finish with nice acidity. Drinking very well right now.

Delicious Pinot that is just entering it’s prime drinking window. Dark fruits and soft tannins make this a great food wine.
