Second bottle, this one was great; first bottle (last year) was certainly a bit tainted. Pale color quickly deepened to rich gold in the glass; smelled like honeyed fruit, and tastes like it too; bright and citrus; smooth and long lasting. Light to medium sweet. Delicious at nearly 31 years! — 6 years ago

Entering a decanter now...
I decant almost everything, except rosé, unless Cotat.
Air is generally good, for everyone.

The wine is dark and juicy, with black currant and black raspberry aromas, but the nose has a distinct savory side to it, with cedar, olives, smoke and sassafras. The palate brings a textbook darkness, with earth for miles and miles and miles. It's just about pitch black, and that's okay, because I've got a flashlight. There is a heavy note of oak spice, a tongue-teasing acidity and a tannic structure that demands meat, make that steak, make that ribeye. — 8 years ago

A great and classical Rioja. Beautiful nose, not too oaky, long finish. Plenty of life ahead. Not their '98, but very good. — 7 years ago

Lovely... Certainly more reserved than West Coast Pinots, lighter, brighter, more mineral. After some air, we could not stop drinking this one! — 9 years ago

Rocky Grenache. Very reductive. Took 45 minutes to blow off, but afterward had great red fruit and violet aromatics. Tannin has integrated well, but probably doesn't have much life left from here. A little dusty. — 9 years ago

13’ HDV Ygnacia Pinot Noir.
Nose - Raspberry, rose petal
Palate-Highly concentrated flavors giving this wine Intense/concentrated aromas of black cherry, raspberry & pomegranate, spice & forest floor, with well-integrated tannins, supported by moderate acidity. A short decanting is still necessary.
Very much enjoy their Chardonnays. Like their Pinots just a bit more. Especially with a little time in the bottle. Drink/ hold 5-7 years. — 6 years ago

Juicy and fresh, a bit earthy, a little deep and slightly more full bodied than I've come to expect from this style of wine. I've loved ever dm wine that I've tried and this one is the most mature but still fun — 7 years ago

1996 Screaming Eagle. Dinner at Tap w S&L DiM and P&S Co. Superstar. We all remarked how unbelievably balanced this wine was, despite how big it remained at 20 years old. Finish lasted forever and was a truly memorable finish to the evening. — 9 years ago

Wonderful floral nose of violets over red fruit (current?) goes on & on. Flavor is wonderfully complex-- floral, fruit, and lovely lemony acid with consistent linger ending on a faint leathery note. Absolutely wonderful!!! — 9 years ago

For me, a bit herbal tonight with excessive drying tannins (very UN-Pichon Lalande like), but others thought it much better, just lacks the lush P-L profile. — 11 years ago
