Wow yes a long week in wine Bizz! Now fun begins, trying 2 great Roar 2014's Pinot. Pisoni vs Rosella. The Pisoni 2014 is Awesome! Even a Big Wow in my book. Bright Cherries rich Berry flavors and good acidity it always tough doing Brother vs Sister from the same Family! My initial review gives this a CB 98! Available in tiny quantities. We are at Bedtime ( mine at least) 2 hours later! This great wine started to fade! Be Aware! Still same press!

Oy Vey, where to start with Roar Pisoni. Drinking young its like an over the top Zin, letting it age more than about 5 years its just gets old fast and not enjoyable. Anyway, on opening it had a vinegar nose, some muddled fruit notes and a short finish. Considering the wines costs I decanted a couple of times and the vinegar nose never when away but got mixed with some plum notes. The taste was pleasant but remained muddled and still had the short finish. Boring wine for sure and have 2 more older bottles to see about.

After a prolonged decanting the wine opened up beautifully, albeit over a couple of days

Wonderful SLA Pinot. A lot of fruit (especially raspberry) and good structure. I’ll give the other bottles another couple of years
