Do not get a lot of opportunity to drink PM. At 17 years old, it drank very well. The producer François Carillon-is very respected. I can see why.  — a day ago

Lagrein is a red varietal found in the south Tyrol Valley in the Alto Adige region of Italy. This is my first taste of this grape. It was pretty decent. No disappointment. Tannins and fruits were still doing their job after eight years.  — a month ago

Full disclosure my good friend owns DUX vineyards.  A 1 ACRE PLOT ON THE HILLS WEST OF NEWBURGH, OREGON. I do not drink a lot of Chardonnay. However, for my money, this is one of the best examples you can find from Oregon. Call me biased, but I think it’s exceptional@ — a day ago

This is one of five bottles at a recent tasting. This was not the youngest. However, I was quite taken back by how wonderfully it’s still drank - a 21-year-old Malbec. I can’t tell you about the berries and the fruits and any of the other 175 taste descriptions. all I know is the tannins and fruits were in very good balance after all these years.  — a day ago

Do not drink a lot of CC. But I do appreciate the Sangiovese grape. This one has 11 years on it. I thought it was pretty seamless -balanced - still some good fruit.  — a month ago

Not a lot of reviews on this site since 2018. In fact none. So I will put it out there that 31 years later it’s went down the old pipe quite smoothly. Do not believe I have ever drank a wine with 80% TANNANT involved. I was impressed.  — a day ago

Do not drink a lot of PN from California. However, I was quite impressed. Almost 20 years old, and it came into my mouth with perfect harmony between the tannins and the fruit. What else can you ask?
A pleasure to drink?
