Great for a Cali pinot. Drinking at peak now but will last for another 10+ years easily. The QPR is off, can get other 2004 at a fraction of the cost with limited drop-off in quality.

Drank this with slow roasted pork and polenta. An incredible wine at 17 years old. Amazingly dense, warm expressive fruit, a kaleidoscope of rich cherry, peach, black plum and sinuous forest floor herbs and mirepoix. Medium acidity, good finish, wonderful complexity.

中宝石红色,闻香有肉鲜,淡淡老酒酱味,山楂的果香,陈年的榛子气息,入口酸度中等,单宁紧致,酒液咸,收口甜,明显感觉出来有残糖,植物气息和草药味占主导,后段微苦伴随着辛辣。余味淡淡红果,木质香气。有些奇怪的一支酒,小伙伴说像咳嗽糖浆的味道,细品余味中找回一些加分,香气很漂亮,也很持久,满口花果香。草本植物气息过于明显,缺乏果香的愉悦感,酒似乎有些老了,处于适饮期末端。

Drank blind against a $1500 Burg. At 1/4 of the price, Marcassin was still the better wine even by Burg experts.
