Decent Anderson Valley Pinot Noir, light color, mature, definitely not for aging, medium-long finish. — 7 hours ago

Lovely vintage Porto, dark fruits, solid balance, starting to show its age, long, lingering finish, only quibble is that this doesn’t show the characteristic sweeter style (thus my comment on its age, starting to dry out just a tad). — a day ago

Dense purple color, dark fruits, quite structured/tannic, needs further cellaring (3-5 years?), long finish, very good!! — 4 days ago

Also red cherry up front, but more restrained than the 2017, tannins are better integrated and less drying, fruit is a little riper and lusher, this should easily cellar 3-5 more years, this is a really terrific Alsatian Pinot Noir!! — 10 hours ago

9.3

Effusive red cherry initially, followed with some earthy, mineral aromas and flavors, still a bit of tannic structure showing in the long, lingering finish, I’d guess this should be better with another few years of cellaring. — 10 hours ago
