Leading contender for my wine of the year. Still has it all 25 years on. Rich, raspberry syrup, licorice, port-like qualities without the prune, viscous. Still loaded with fruit and power. — a month ago
Opened nicely after about an hour’s decant. Reserved red and blue fruits, rose, tobacco and earth all balanced in still firm tannins. A fantastic wine worth the patience and likely would have had 5+ good years left in the bottle. — 2 months ago
Dark, full bodied, black and blue fruit with a through line of acidity. Hints of port on the finish. With nearly 10 years in bottle, it drank more like a cab than warmer climate Pinots, but had more vibrancy and delineation. — 11 days ago
Vivid nose, red berry and kirsch forward, bright, light tannin, pleasant but lacks the depth or extraction of better vintages. — a month ago
Austere at this early moment. Dry, light and minerally with some black and red fruit that emerged over time. Interested to see how it evolves but currently lacks a strong character. — a month ago
Reserved in its youth. Hints of plum, cassis, the iron rich soils of the vineyard, and fragrant high elevation flora. Smooth and integrated tannins with years of potential. — 2 months ago
Young but impressive. Light mixed berries, cinnamon, bright acidity. Damp earth emerges and fruit sweetens over time. — 16 days ago
Powerful deep nose of fruit and earth like a strawberry patch. Firm tannins and reserved fruit in the palate but becomes richer and even a bit script with air. Archery Summit wines are long-lifed Pinots and this likely has 10-15 years of development in it. — a month ago
With some air, this showed florals highlighted by orange blossom, pear and lemon zest, and a bit of slate in a soft wrapper. Very drinkable and could improve over a few years. — a month ago

Fantastic. Purchased on-site at the winery during a visit earlier this year. Rich dark fruit, leather, touch of the rocky, dusty soil of the Priorat. Mellowed with age into a lush, layered wine with both hints of port and nice spicy acidity still on the finish. — 6 days ago
