Jammy, with some pine, spice and licorice. Bigger than Shaq.

1 person found it helpfulMay 9th, 201504' Pahlmeyer Proprietary Red. It closed up soon after opening(little ripe-fruit & tight at first) 1 hour+ decanting. Brick red/dark violet. On the nose red/black fruits. These wines are generally not as approachable in their youth. A few years in the bottle they tend to settle down so very nicely. Black fruits are abundant. It is now elegant and very approachable. This 04' is definitely drinking in it's prime now. I do believe it has another 7/10 great years in it. Edit.... I would decant this for 3 hours.

Sep 9th, 2018Absolutely incredible!
Sep 4th, 2017Intense and alluring. Full bodied and still a baby clocking in at 13 years. Merits additional cellaring as it should develop further. Dark red color. Heavy and thick with black fruits, clove, chocolate, and currant. A slight mineral undertone adds character and rounds it out.
