June 15, 2019 - The 2004 Pandora is drinking beautifully. Rich black fruits, black cherries, blackberries, currants, and some earthiness. Full bodied, very well balanced, nice complexity, and a long smooth finish.

October 7, 2018 - Felt a little past prime. A touch sherried or just not on point. Hard to describe. Better the second day. Bought at auction for $100. Not worth it.

November 26, 2017 - Brilliant showing for this wine -- grenache from the Seymour vineyard. I prefer this to the Seymour bottling. It's not overly concentrated. It says 16% Alcohol on the bottle, but it doesn't seem that high. This wine is elegant, not over the top; the finish goes on and on.
