Crap. Sour and basically undrinkable. Multiple bottles like this. Opened a bottle of the 2020 North Coast as well, and it was disappointingly similar. I remember loving Pax wines before he split with the Donelans - they were Lucious and inky Syrahs. These were something else. I don’t envision buying any more.
I’m not sure. Upon opening It smells terrible- barnyard meets some kind of glue - but has an ok taste. As it started to open up, more fruit emerges but still, that nose? Perhaps it needs a few more years, which the rest of the stash will get. 95 points from Parker, really? Does anything get less than 90?
