Inky dark color. Tomato leaf, coffee, and mint on the nose. More pyrazine notes on the palate along with cocoa, cranberry, leather, black pepper, molasses, raisins, coffee, tobacco, and dark cherry. High acid, high alcohol, medium plus tannins, medium plus body, and long finish. Despite all the tertiary notes, drinks vibrant and fresh. Drink now or hold. — 5 months ago

A soupy, high alcohol mess. Lots of tertiary notes of molasses and prunes. No fruit left. This has either been cooked or is past prime. I have to rate them as I find them. — 3 months ago
Solid and refined. Fine bubble, lees, and lemon notes. Worth the price? — 6 months ago

Adam Lee at his SLH best. Lush and complex. Dark cherry, cranberry, cinnamon, clove, a hint of stem and a solid oak backbone. Medium bodied, high alcohol, medium minus tannins, high acid, and a long finish. This is a big, bold pinot, (Burgundian on steroids?) without feeling forced. — 15 days ago
