Still loaded with blue and red fruits, leaning toward a dark, ripe strawberry and violet. Brightened by vibrant acidity and the tannins are still firm. Seems to have potential still — 3 hours ago

Fruit forward, jammy blackberry, violet, mint and pencil lead on very firm tannins. Has room to soften and knit over time. — 16 days ago

The 22 is a very pleasant wine marked by lemon zest and citrus notes, chalky minerality, and touch of acidity in the finish. What it lacks in depth, it makes up in drinkability and food-friendliness. — a month ago

There is no quit in this Zin. Still full of fresh, dark fruit, zippy acidity, seamless tannins and some port like qualities belying its age, it absolutely sung 23 years after harvest. — 2 months ago

A Rhone white blend with a streak of Italian from California? Tastes like a winner to me. Roussane, Grenache Blanc and Vermentino from historic vineyards become a wonderfully balanced, fresh and layered wine. White fruits, melon, florals, juicy acidity, minerals and soft edges make it both drinkable and worth holding for a bit. Always a favorite from the Turley line up. — 6 days ago

Fall struck early in New York and this hit home. Classic Priorat/L’Obac with cedar, tobacco, leather, dark cherry, gravelly-minerality, and a very sturdy backbone of tannins. Lovely now with plenty of life left. — 21 days ago

Notes on four bottles over the four years since release (2023-26) show a wine that maintained character and freshness one might not associated with ‘aged’ rosé. Early on, it leaned into grapefruit, rose, and minerality and more recently, while it held onto a nearly effervescent acidity and very floral nose, showed some herbaceousness (or ‘the whole flower garden’ in my notes) and a Concord grape element. Always lovely with food and a great value. — 2 months ago

8.0

Disappointingly one dimensional — red fruit — lacked with and complexity other than slight hint of mushroom. Too old, maybe, closed down, don’t know. It wasn’t dead by any stretch but I wouldn’t hold out hope for any bottles you may have left. — 15 days ago

The very young 2023 (not pictured) is inky black with a nose of plums and cassis. It’s loaded with classic PS elements like graphite, violets, blue fruit but has surprisingly mild tannins. Beautifully layered but not segmented. — 17 days ago

8.7

Always an excellent value and very good wine, the 2024 Juvenile is no exception. The fruit is primarily cocktail cherries and a little plum, dusty tannins are near the grin at this early stage and there’s a pop of pepper at the end. — 2 months ago
