1989 vintage. Last tasted 3 years ago (9.6). Nice fill. Durand used to open. Cork 95% saturated with extensive bottle rim cleaning involved before pouring. Not decanted. Tight, minty nose throughout along with a decided, lingering zinc note under the tongue at the finish line. Tasted 2 hours after opening. Power but without delineation. Just a consistent, forgettable push. Nothing wrong with the wine...it just needed more air/time and a decant but it wasn't my call. Feel like the zinc flavor would have dissipated/blown off with more time. Good but more memorable for what it wasn't vs what it was. Pity and an entire wasting of what could have been. 11.21.25. — a month ago

Double decant and pour(lots of sediment). A splendid medium ruby red color. On the nose: a little stewed red fruit, herbaceous, worn leather, mint, sweet smokey oak, loamy soil. Taste: smooth, elegant, savory wine with a touch of dried red fruit, dried herbs, cocoa, damp earth, minerals, and a spiced iron/meaty medium finish. YUM! Mature and on the long downside, but still drinks nicely at 28 years. — 4 months ago

My style of Sauvignon Blanc. Nice tropical notes and freshness. I still think the 2022 vintage is slightly better than the 2023.  — 4 months ago

Pretty color of ruby with medium intensity and a light brick rim.

Pretty nose of red fruits with wild flowers and light forest floor notes.

Medium bodied with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with sweet cherries, cooked plums, light oak, mushrooms, spices, chocolates, earth and herbs.

Long finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a delicious Pinot Noir from Oregon. Elegant and nicely balanced with a soft mouthfeel.

Burgundy in style, and I really enjoyed smelling it for a long while.

This 19 year old Pinot Noir is still drinking beautifully. Drinking at its peak, and will continue to drink nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.

Wine Spectator 92 points. Wine Advocate 91 points. Wine Enthusiasts 90 points.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after 20 minutes of airtime.

Balanced and easy drinking. Good by itself as a sipping wine, or with food.

A blend of Pinot Noir grapes from all of the Single Vineyards of the estate. Aged in 100% New French oak barrels for 16 months. Unfiltered and unfined.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$150. — 2 months ago
