June 11, 2019 - Never had this wine before. Let it air for a bit and drank over an hour and a half. Earthy nose, still active, not smelling turned at all.... Flavors of Caramel Apple, Red and Green.... amazing. Medium in body. Color has a hint of brown but does not looked very aged.
I didnt expect a 14 yr old Pinot to taste this good.
Well done!!
Wish I had one more. Id give it one more year and see what happens.1 person found this helpful Comment -

October 4, 2015 - Drank it last night with dinner. I was very surprise how well it tasted thought it could past it's prime. Wish I had another bottle. Another Hobbs that didn't disappoint. Could go another year or two.

December 23, 2012 - Mature notes of cola, wood spice, dark fruits on the nose and palate. Balanced, nice but not French. Not Burgundy. So this begs a general question: why drink it?

June 5, 2012 - This is either an 85 or a 95, depending on if you like dried prune concentrate. Wow, tasted like concentrated dried fruit/prunes. Drinkable only with ice cubes to water it down. Whew. Actually would have rated it higher with the ice cubes if I hadn't already tried it straight from the bottle. Not pleasant although some out there will probably rate this a 95 "due to its superior concentration.....". Over the top all the way and in all manner. Sorry Paul, but when are you going to make wines that people can actually drink?
