Tasted together, the 1983, I'm told was the better vintage. After 32 years, that sentiment still holds true. The aromatics have developed into a demure and perfumey elixir of dried rose petals, forest floor, spearmint, sassafras, and allspice. Its brickish in the glass, the color of worn leather, and yields intriguing, atypical notes of wild game, sultana, dried blood and iron ore. Knudsen Vineyard blocks are seated on iron-rich Jory soils, is it possible that this is the evolution of Pinot grown in this soil type? — 11 years ago

Kind of amazingly still hanging in there. Reminded me of aged Loire valley cab franc. Super acid driven even now but that aged earthy vegetably type flavor in a great way. Red pepper over green pepper. Super fun — 11 years ago

Wow. Just wow. Bright and beautiful. Smells like strawberries drying in the sun. Amazing grip. Just amazing. This wine is blowing my mind. Dances on the pallet with rhubarb, cinnamon and clove, finishing with cola and the feeling of staring out across the Willamette...and it lasts and lasts. — 11 years ago
