Excellent but Give this 1hour to open up

After 1 hour open was expressive & complete - probably no reason to hold this - drink up

In my opinion, this should be drunk - maybe it was the bottle but didn’t taste as vibrant as other Black Kite’s I have drunk

Exceptionally good given its age - great nose - no real sign of any degradation due to age but no reason to wait either

2 hour decant wasn’t enough - I think this will be better down the road - nose was dense & enjoyable but the wine was still a bit overpowering in the mouth

Given my high expectations for WS wines this was just ok - nothing wrong with it but nothing great either

Unbelievable value

2/6/2022 - jackstraw Likes this wine:

2 hour in cellar decant but probably would have been better with 4 - exceptionally good Nebbiolo - with enough decant this drinks wonderfully - nose is full & vibrant and flavors match

Excellent - great balance

I have drunk lot of Pisoni wine and this one was just flat - maybe it was me or just an off bottle

25 yrs old and tastes fresh and vibrant- really enjoyed and think it is perfect time to drink

Well made Cali Pinot - tastes fresh and youthful - time to drink it is now

6/1/2021 - jackstraw Likes this wine:

1st day decant for 90 minutes but wine bloomed after 3 hours; 2nd day much earthier and leathery
Suggest 3 hour decant and then drink - really good but don’t see any reason to wait to drink it

Incredible value - no need to wait, drinking great right now

Decanted for 1 hour prior to drinking and it didn’t help the wine - was good but felt a little flat

Good but not great - got better with a few hours

Very enjoyable after about 1 hour of air time
