The ‘07 Avonlea PN was outstanding. Vosne spice nose and palate with a bit of Gevrey meatiness on the palate. Needed every bit of the decant/2+ hours air. Kept gaining with air over the entire evening. Aging well, better than either ‘03 or ‘04 and a rival to the ‘05.
I once blinded my experienced Burg group on the ‘03 & ‘04 at the end of a Leroy NSG dinner. The Wyncroft PN’s scored in the same range as Allots, Lavieres and Vignerondes. All tasters thought they were burgundies.

Opened by Mark. 4th time I have had this wine. It was much more rustic and earthy this time around compared to when I last had it 5 years ago. Still showing well with a more Burgundian profile than new world. 88-89 points.

I so want to love this wine from the wildly fruit floral nose, but the acids are too out of balance and a overt softness is hollowing out the middle. All of this could resolve - not out of type for Pinot - but not delivering pleasure now.

Beautiful on the nose and way too acidic on the palate. Shows possibility.
