2015 Promontory Penultimate

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

95 Points

Sunday, December 31, 2023 - 2023 New Years Eve Celebration! (Kevin's House): PnP - I typically don't buy second wines, but this wine is certainly an exception. Unlike some other second wines (and especially second wines in Bordeaux), This wine does share the characteristics of its big brother, Promontory. Although the wine is not cheap, it does compare favorably with similar priced wines.

This wine, like Promontory, shows plush fruit (red, black and blue) with ultra fine tannins, coupled with some cocoa dust, some mellow earthy notes, some sweet tobacco and a hint of ash and oak. This was my WOTN amongst some pretty darn good wines! 95+ and would have benefitted with an hour decant. Absolutely delicious!
