Deep ruby color. Faint hints of red and blue fruit as well as some earthiness on the nose. Maybe even a little herbaceousness. Flavors of dark cherries, blueberries, baking spices and dried herbs Very sleek tannins and nice acidity. ABV of 14.9 but it does not come across as too hot. I actually would like to try this again with a nice piece of grilled meat. — 5 years ago

Now quite evolved at nearly twenty years of age, the 2002 Lange Estate ‘Three Hills Cuvee’ marvelously showcases this incredible vintage in Oregon as the wine is showing brilliantly right now. The palate is plush and dense, showing wonderful range and tension. Black fruits, citrus rind, pomegranate seed and black truffle. Complex and delicious, this is right in its sweet spot. The wine shows good mid-palate richness and is nowhere near finished as this will cellar well for the next decade. Drink 2019-2028- 93 — 6 years ago

A little hot at first, but after an hour or so of air, the wine came together wonderfully. — 5 years ago
BSR don’t come to the African bush without it. Just like American Express, don’t leave home without it. Missed it!
All my previous notes apply.
Photos of, the nearly 20 Lions we found on our afternoon game drive. Three Males (one of them featured with the big yawn) four Lionesses and 12 or 13 Cubs, the completion of seeing the “Big Five” experience with this Buffalo on our morning game drive and most of the Lion pride laying in the sand awaiting the evening hunt.
9.3 on the BSR and a perfect 10 on our game drives.
@Severn Goodwin This ones for you! 🤣 Cheers! — 6 years ago
This wine was fabulous to me. My wife gave it a 9.5 and I think it was a 9.8, so we compromised. Its fruity and bold on the front with a multitude of earthflavors experienced to the back. — 6 years ago
Three years since the last bottle from this case. Very little flowers or fruit on the nose today, mostly cedar and cigar box and spice. Good structure, lots of tar and earth, sour cherry. Hint of mint on the end. Anything from the P del B is always great. — 5 years ago
16’ Hartford Court Three Jacks Vineyard.
Better then my last bottle!! Medium/deep golden color to it. Tangerine, dried apricot, banana, a drop of caramel.
Medium+ bodied, vibrant & fresh, with good acidity & nice richness. No need to hold on to these wines. Enjoy! — 5 years ago
Nice blend - smooth with dark fruit and wet stone mineral — 6 years ago
Been sitting on this for some time and blindly pulled it out of the cellar. My wife went for a second glass, which means she LOVED it. — 6 years ago

Very fruity. Black cherry and blackberry aromas and some notes of cinnamon, then balanced fruit and baking spices that tingle the tongue and linger on. What Goes with That: Fall Sweets Class, pairing: pumpkin pie. — 3 years ago
