Community Tasting Note

• KPB wrote: 90 points

  June 4, 2020 - At age 12, a proof that Oregon PN can age extremely well. Medium ruby with a tawny hue, the nose shows pomegranate juice, spice and beeswax, with the barest hints of violets and forest loam. Tart yet ripe, lifted, very long finish. Lovely, still has a long future, but probably is at its peak now.
  
  A quick comment on the score: when I opened this I actually was ready to go with 92pts (same as I gave it ten years ago). Not so much that it was a 92pt bottle in that moment, but it seemed to have the potential to improve more. But with air, the wine opened up and at the same time, some of the initial allure faded. I decided to notch my score down, accordingly, and settled on 90. And I adjusted my comment too: the wine may already be at its peak, and I would probably drink it now.
