Since no one had tasted this in a long time it deserves a post…tasted against a run of 96 Leroys (Voug, BM etc) and 96 La Tache…it carried the day…great length, delicious complexity…could have spent another hour or two with it to see how it unfolded…..holiday lunch tasting with a DC friend at Kukio

I rarely post but had to given the recent reviews I wanted to weigh in We just had this yesterday in magnum I had waited a long time for this to be ready and was it ever We decanted 60-90 mins And my point here is that’s all it needed! It was ready to go Tannins shed, fruit, earth, full palate Really just the right time

10 years out, this is hitting its stride with no loss of flavors…the strong cherry has mellowed, the acid is still great…great mouthfeel, a really solid California Pinot from 2011. I mean really, really lovely
