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.

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.

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?

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?
