This stellar vintage lives up to the hype. Shows a bit of age up front but then floods the mouth with opulence. So many details emerge on the almost ridiculously long finish. Thought provoking and makes me think I should be buying more of this wine. — 4 years ago

Lots of fruit and spice, hints of cedar, and serious concentration. Herbal and balsamic on the medium finish. Very good but slightly rich for my taste. — 5 years ago

9.1

Glints of green. Smoky apples. Not quite petrol. Limey citrus start to finish, but lacking a bit in the mid. Tasty but ready now, don’t think it has a lot more to show later. — 5 years ago

Bindi

Composition Pinot Noir 2008

9.2

Holding up great, this has plenty of fruit and terrific balance of acid. Black tea and earth flavors in abundance on the medium-long finish. No hurry to drink the other two bottles in the rack. — 5 years ago

9.0

A bit of reductiveness gives way to classic Pinot flavors balanced against a seductive weight. Silky body finishes medium long. Delish as the sole red amongst a bunch of good whites. — 5 years ago

9.1

Just got this in today an drank one for lunch. Hen House chicken tenders. This clearly need some time but will be a steal QPR. Riches up with air, layers and layers of flavor, with oak still sticking out a bit. Nonetheless delicious. — 5 years ago

9.3

Delicate and detailed flavors I often don’t find in other whites persist throughout. Pear, jasmine & wet stone on the nose give way to apricot and honeyed notes on the palate, through a lengthy finish. So young but just irresistible. — 5 years ago
