I've been really pleasantly surprised at how well my small stash of old Cristoms, bought at the winery 12 or so years ago, have held up. This was a beautiful, balanced pinot, with a nice balance of savory and fruit elements. Drank with friends over a nice dinner, so no detailed notes taken, but this was an impressive bottle.

I can't believe a New World Pinot - exceptional at 12 years old! Beautifully balanced, earth and fruit and alcohol in perfect alignment. What a delight. If you have some of this drink it NOW. It may hold up for a year or two, but it is drinking perfectly at the moment. LONG, interesting finish. Wish we had another case of this stuff!

PNP. Cork perfect. Color bricking. This is mostly secondary and drinking beautifully. Has the characteristic 5 spice and not a rough edge. Drink

Loam, mushrooms, and berries. Rich dark and took a little bit of time to open.
