  The first Rhys Home Vineyard bottle I’ve really “gotten” - and this one was worth it. Definitely heavy on the whole cluster but with 11 years’ age, that’s an unambiguous positive. Big flavor in a medium to light body, perfect balance. Wonderful with roast chicken.

  Color: medium ruby with some brown
  Nose: fleshy dark fruit, dark cherry and blackberry. Bay leaf, silicone, old book, something like faint caramel, candied violet
  Palate: intense, medium-high acidity, medium tannins mostly felt on the tongue, good balance on a body I'd call medium-full. Confirms the nose aromatically
  Finish: medium
  
  Dark but not quite brooding, kept food friendly by a great acid backbone, nice tannins, this is a big Pinot. I had it with salmon but that was not the right idea, this would have been better with chicken persillade or similarly flavored white meat. Had it from bottle at room temp, best about an hour and a half after opening. Not a hint of Brett, to which I am very sensitive. Lucky bottle it seems

  Decanted for sediment. 2nd of three bought at auction, soaked cork, signs of past seepage. Still drinkable, enjoyable even, didn’t come across flawed although I assume more advanced than well kept bottles. Makes me rethink my Dec ‘21 note, this came from the same lot - perhaps that bottle had some heat damage as well.

  Not sure if flawed, mildly brett or just an off bottle. The aroma and flavor seems slightly muted, not as pronounced as the last bottle. Not terrible, but not what I expected either.

  Ditto last note, slight brett.
