2/19/2024 - locovino wrote: 93 pointsAP number 15 from 2001. Good showing for this wine though still seems a bit youthful. I remember early going a bit of spritz with a round sweetness. Spritz is gone; understated nose of apple/pear; still quite sweet with fresh and taut acidity. Ideal wine to pair with some pan glazed pork chops! |

10/27/2023 - locovino wrote: 91 pointsDelicious Port at an early stage in life. Dark fruited, medium acidity and tannins. Would imagine this to mature on the earlier side. |

10/22/2023 - locovino wrote: 90 pointsPicked up a few bottles of this at auction for a very good price. Turns out to be a very agreeable middle weight Bordeaux. On the nose black cherry, plum and cedar. Dense and pungent in the mouth with firm acidity. Great to drink now. |

5/1/2021 - locovino wrote: 91 pointsStill very much alive and quite enjoyable. Straw yellow in the glass. Nose of apricots, ripe pears and butterscotch. Nice acidity brings this one fully into balance. Would be fun to have a couple more bottles just to see how long it could go… |

3/31/2021 - locovino wrote: 91 pointsHmmm... I’m rating this wine 91 points as I’m definitely enjoying it currently (with a bloody steak) but really who knows what is going on here. The bottle is 24 years old and it still tastes like a barrel sample. I purchased it on release and it has been in my temp controlled cellar since then so can vouch for the provenance. Anyway, dark in color with slight bricking. Open two days and full of austere primary Nebbiolo with a balsamic top note. Full in the mouth with very firm but suave tannins. Maybe drank this twenty years too early? Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comments (2) |

2/20/2021 - locovino wrote: 94 pointsI remember very much enjoying this wine on release though a bit too intense at that young age. Now calmed slightly but still sappy cool climate Central Coast Pinot Noir flavors. Deep ruby in color, lovely acidity and balance. Save the next one for at least five more years. |

5/15/2020 - locovino wrote: 93 pointsThis one coming along nicely... dark ruby in the glass; deep nose of plums, shoe polish and tobacco funk; in the mouth tannic and firm. |

2002 St. Innocent Pinot Noir Freedom Hill VineyardWillamette Valley more |
5/14/2020 - locovino wrote: 90 pointsVery interesting wine... Still very much alive for an 18 year old Oregon Pinot Noir and took about two days after pulling the cork to open up. Color, nose and mouth actually much more like an aged Barolo though than Pinot Noir. Dark ruby in the glass; nose still somewhat muted but in the mouth dark cherry and tar with a floral finish. Totally different animal than other aged Pinot Noirs I’ve been tasting lately from my cellar. |

4/29/2020 - locovino wrote: 94 pointsSo much better than anything I’ve been drinking lately... Bottle open for two days. Feral nose of damp fur and iodine. Poop and mushrooms. Velvet tannins and superb balance. For sure on the earthy side but keeps going and going. |
