Jammy spicy blackberry and cooked raspberry. Low acidity. Not a food wine but quite enjoyable. — 5 years ago
This is wonderful - a nose of fresh ripe sweet red strawberry, morphs into some raspberry. Acid builds perfectly into a balance of fruit and acid with the prevailing strawberry note at the center. Finishes also fruity with just a tinge of green fruit but just a hint, and a I mean a hint, of chalk. This balances the finish beautifully. Really world class rose. — 6 years ago
Yep Mrs E popped another 🤣 the 09 Sass (10th try) & @ £138-£180 is going to be a lovely 😈 in time if Mrs E stops opening them 🤣 Notes similar as before but dryness is easing & other subtle changes appearing 😁

Made with complete cluster of grapes, dark inky purple in color, smells of nail polish, white pepper, tobacco with lively but restrained acidity, firm and strong tannin, tastes of leather, salty meat, raspberry, mineral stone, mint and herb, full body with complex long finish. Really tasty! — 10 years ago
"Edgy and full of flavour, the Prisoner is a bold red meant for indulging. On the nose, expect a bursting bouquet of bing cherries, dark chocolate, clove and roasted fig, followed by juicy ripe fruit flavours. Notes of raspberry and boysenberry with hints of pomegranate give way to a lingering taste of warm vanilla on the palate. A long, smooth finish lingers in your mouth. " — 4 years ago

Really starting to enter a great drinking window. Raspberry, herbs, spice, a touch of oak. This has the fruit and structure to age gracefully for a long time. — 8 years ago
The nose is a nice blend of chocolate covered raisins, black cherry, vanilla, black raspberry and blackberries. The nose is confirmed on the palette, but in a dry, pleasant way. Not a fruit bomb, nice touch of earth. — 9 years ago
Lucious floral and fruit aromas followed by bold flavors of raspberry jam with subtle oak overtones. Well structured and balanced with great mouthfeel and a great lingering finish. One of my favorite big Pinot Noir's. — 10 years ago

Domaine Drouhin Dundee Hills Pinot Noir 2017: Medium-bodied. Bright red fruits on the nose and strawberry, raspberry, cherry & plum on the palate. Additionally, there is a light touch of forest floor, earthiness ending with a soft dry finish. Glad to be back supporting & enjoying some local outdoor dinner spots! Cheers🍷 — 4 years ago
Profoundly earthy, with a great helping of pyrazine. Restrained fruit- blackberry and raspberry, and a garden-full of freshly turned soil, herbs and spices. Great balance of acid and tannin. Rustic and compelling - curious to see where this goes in a few more years. — 6 years ago
On the nose, I pick up musty and but of dust along with strawberry and raspberry. A touch of leather.
It drinks very well. With delicate tannins. Tastes of berry and is fruit forward. More strawberry and raspberry. Slightly dry finish and raspberry lingers on the tongue.
Really great wine and is my favorite PN right now. Serving it with prime rib tonight. — 7 years ago

Recommended to me from this site. It was stellar. Lush red raspberry, rich cassis and bright currants to add acidity. I loved this wine. Can't wait for the Chardonnay! $45 / 92pts — 12 years ago
