  Opened 45 minutes before consumption but not decanted. Without food , perfectly balanced. Fruit is still prominent . This wine has a long life ahead of it. The fruit masks the alcohol and the tannins are well-integrated. With food, the tannins show a bit more and the fruit seems less prominent. All of this is leading me to hold back the remaining bottle I have for a few years.

  Pulled this after the Almacerro tasting. No formal notes taken as this was pulled to share we folks that have never tried this bottling.

  Opened by MJP as part of his Almacerro Palooza evening.....what a great host!
  
  I had but a small taste of this one and no formal notes however it stood out to me with great smooth, powerful, dark fruit. It was smooth and well integrated and with a little air, ready to be enjoyed now. This surprised me in some ways but in others, it didn't. I expected high quality when MJP opened it and I was not disappointed. Thanks for including me in this event, my friend!

  Two hour slow ox. Mushroom, leather, prune, and vanilla pudding on the nose. This is well made but drinks older than it is. I tried this later in the even, after numerous other bottles, so take my notes with a grain of salt. MJP’s notes are going to be more reliable.

  Finally decided to open a Mole Hill after several years of being a Robins Nest Member.
  
  PNP- Aromatic dark fruits fill the room upon opening. In the glass dark ruby. On the palate dark fruit cassis, chocolate & black raspberry.
  
  Singular expression of Mole Hill Vineyard on Howell Mountain. 100% CS 95 Cases and only made
  
  Easily a 97 out of the gate. A little bit of heat but overall a beautiful wine that was consumed over 2 hours.
