Vinous and Patty Green both recommend holding the 2016 Notorious until at least 2024. They're correct, of course. Patience will be rewarded. But this is just such a FUN wine to drink today. Rich, concentrated, fragrant, complex, persistent, and with outstanding, supple tannic structure, you really can't ask for more from an American pinot in this range. Drink now through 2035.

Good Wine with a Boring Super Bowl (Chez Kailin - Northbrook IL): Social walk-around tasting, brief note. Ripe black and red berry aromas and flavors with savory spice. Clearly ripe throughout, but still very good balance. Good+ length. Good now, with some possible upside in another year or two.
