I believe Special Bottlings are offered to employees; they are not part of the publicly allocated wine program, nor should they be. These special bottlings are usually blends from residual wine from various barrels. It is not a vineyard designated wine. A few bottles of older SB PN were handed out recently. The color is good but this vintage is past and is only a curiosity. OK, but probably more interesting five years ago. A bit stewed and hammy. Not rated.
