October 3, 2019 - First time having the opportunity to try and older vintage of Williams Selyem. This was still quite alive, with lovely fruit. Not super complex, but going strong and a pretty remarkable expression for 32 year old Cali PN!

October 14, 2011 - Had this wine last night with Chef Carlo Mirarchi's interpretation of peking duck at his amazing Williamsburg, Brooklyn restaurant, Roberta's. This bottle proves that Williams-Selyems best vineyards like Rochioli are amazing wines that can age if kept well. This bottle had been in my cellar since release from the winery. Everyone thought it was a Grand Cru Burgundy. Amazingly, there was stil fruit on the nose and mushroom notes on the palate. What a treat!
