  November 20, 2022 - Getting even better. Needs to be filtered. Decanted an hour before. Still has great fruit. Nice tannins. Delicious wine.

  August 6, 2022 - Poured through vinturi, had with smoked lamb rack about 15min later. Very smooth, still full of blueberry fruit. Light tannins on the back end. Glad to still have another bottle remaining after this one.

  April 16, 2022 - Decant and filter. After an hour, this was wonderful. Still great fruit with the blueberry of a great PS. Smooth with nice acidity. Really enjoyed with lamb chops.

  April 12, 2017 - Decanted about an hour before we ate. I sipped while I grilled. The wine did need to open up. It drank very well. I don't know enough about PS, so this could be a little closed right now. But it was enjoyable.

  November 16, 2008 - Not giving a rating. Decanted for 3 hours before dinner, yet found the wine to still be opening up as we finished dinner. It was very nice with short ribs, but a little closed. The fruit did not come through until the bottle was nearly gone. Don't know enough if this was a dumb phase, or just needed more time in cellar/decanter. Rating would be good, but I would probably under-rate the true potential of this wine.
