2005 vintage. Selection de Grains Nobles Pinot Gris. At Harry's Bar for Jay's birthday. Deep amber hue. Exceptional nose - apricot, peach, pinapple, butterscotch, honey and honey suckle, some botanical notes. On the palate, full bodied, treacle texture, oily, huge acidity creates a cutting edge through the honeyed notes. This is superb despite its tender age. Full concentration. Very long. Caramelised pineapple on the finish. Delicious. Love it. — 10 years ago

2004 vintage. At Harry's Bar with Jay. Medium lemon hue. Toasty with rounded citrus fruits, still very youthful and a touch closed in my glass. On the palate, medium plus acidity, refined bubbles - small and crisp. There's a slight creamy coffee note, some punch and concentration and great length. Quite approachable. Very enjoyable. Able to drink now - acidity profile makes this a Salon that I don't think will age as well as the 2002. — 9 years ago
Yes. Big time. Exactly what regions like this should be producing (rather than weird and unpleasant wines) — 9 years ago
2008 vintage from Double-Magnum at Harry's Bar for Jay K birthday. Pale lemon hue. Medium plus concentration of ripe lemon, lemon rind, wet stone, white peach, kernel nut. On the palate, oak is quite dominant - not integrated yet. Vanilla and coconut. Some clove. Rich. Medium acidity - a little fat. Medium plus concentration. Medium finish. A little sickly to me. Not sure I can have more than 2 glasses. — 10 years ago
Very young... Can't wait to try it again in 5-7 years. Good concentration and length with tight tannins. Cherries hit you first followed by blueberry, ripe raspberry and graphite. Chehalem is one of my favorite vintners...thanks doc L for getting me hooked on Harry's juice. — 10 years ago

1990 vintage. From Double Magnum. At Harry's Bar for Jay K's birthday. Immediately on opening, green and vegetal, woody. But blew off fairly quickly with red plum and cedar notes to the fore. On the palate, medium acidity and integrated medium minus tannins. Medium concentration. Finish is medium plus. Let's come back to this in an hour and reassess. An hour on: more earth, twig, forest floor and slight medicinal notes. The wine is starting to becoming tart - not sure decanting was a good idea! Drink up soon - not for keeping. — 10 years ago

1991 Ridge Montebello in magnum. At Harry's Bar. Bottle sourced direct from Ridge. Deep ruby hue. Full concentration of ripe dark plums and blackberries, some prune and chocolate and assorted dried fruits. Licorice and menthol. Old oak wood and nutmeg. Still developing. On the palate, medium plus acidity, medium ripe tannins. Medium alcohol. Full concentration and good long finish. Very impressive. Drink now until 2022+. NB: might be a bit of bottle shock on this as only arrived from California 2 weeks ago and not showing as well as the 75cl. — 9 years ago
