  Not my favorite. Thought the first bottle was maybe off (not corked) but second bottle showed exactly the same. Thin, acidic, lacking in fruit, and overall not enjoyable. I love Alban wines but this might be the first I’ve had that I didn’t enjoy at all.

  Way too young. Very large, as expected. Lots of plum and dark fruits. Very rich texture. Will be interesting to see how it evolves over 10-20 years.

  That's the Birthday Girl's score, I was 95. A beautiful Grenache, lots of plums and smooth as silk. Wow, what a pleasure!

  Vintage correction of my review on 8/30/2020
  We are big fans of Pandora but the 2015 is not yet up to previous vintages. We were 96-97 on '12, '13, and '14, they were knockouts... the '15 is merely very good so far, a nice big Grenache that is pretty smooth but not a killer. I'm hoping a couple more years will improve it.
