This 05 Turley PS is really pretty awesome right now. Decidedly more meaty, savory, juicy. Nose of iodine and boiled black plums and overripe blackberries. The wine pours a decadent black with violet meniscus. The entry is black plum, au jus, meaty, tar, smoked tobacco, figs. Beautiful wine. Finished with a lot of black pepper, again a savory backbone, dense and thick. Pretty dang good wine. This would be a great wine with an herbed prime rib, or with something kinda off the beaten path like fowl or game (goose, elk, venison). Right in the wheelhouse so if you're holding these, don't. Drink them now. Pop and pour.

Black tea, dark fruit and white pepper on the nose. Black cherries, plums, peppery flavor. Excellent fruit acid balance. Lingering finish. Not past it’s prime at all, but doubt it has too many years to go.

Powerful wine and it defies its age with fierce tannins and holding fruit that I enjoyed, but I find these wines monolithic. Maybe another dimension will show in another 10 years.

Drank over three days, even third day was holding up though seemed to be elderflower on third day, still lively and intriguing.
