3/28/21, 10:57 PM - Didn’t decant too long but did have it open over an hour and then pumped and drank the following night and it did improve slightly. As it had an almost Burgundian earthiness it went great with mushroom/Brie soup.

6/1/20, 11:29 AM - I'm going with bottle variation. Everyone has a different palate but I think I know what you're talking about and my first of the 3 I bought was quite good. Way better than expected for the price.
3/12/20, 9:37 PM - Loved your tasting note! That's how you do it! Convinced me to roll this out with a spectacular lineup of 4 Syrahs from 4 countries in my wine tasting group. WOTN was the Chris Ringland Syrah from El Nido (my guys have a modern style bias) but this was a beauty.
2/13/20, 1:44 PM - Excellent response to a completely unnecessary and rather rudely worded criticism. Glad you are going to just be you. All kinds make the community better. And I agree with you on the wine; it was WOTN in the tasting I hosted last year and I'm targeting 3-4 years from now for my 2nd/last bottle and buying more recent vintages of this magnificent vino.
2/1/20, 11:58 AM - You might know this but Joe Webb, who was the Londer winemaker, also makes similar wines for his family winery—Foursight wines. They do a Paraboll also which is my favorite.
4/20/19, 4:34 PM - Wine was in a decanter probably 2-2.5 hours before serving. Was great right out of the bottle but pretty sure the extra time was a good idea. Served at a tasting with my monthly wine group of 11 guys and in my opinion was WOTN with many other very good bottles.
5/9/18, 8:23 PM - I found the wine interesting enough to almost justify the price, but it's almost not like a Pinot experience. Probably won't buy any more myself, but a few guys at my dinner love big wines and as I expected loved it. Just depends
11/3/13, 6:55 PM - Since it was a day later, I sort of forgot the detail, but I'm sure you're on to something!
1/27/11, 9:18 PM - Did you have a corked bottle? couldn't have been that bad.
