>pretty sure this was a gift to Tina, either birthday or Xmas 2011.
September 2, 2022......in celebration of Andrew's 34th birthday. Shared with Crystal, had with t-bone steaks. Absolutely delicious! Required aeration and was responding well after 30 minutes. A refined, classy glass of wine. Delicate for Cab Sauv. Had held it for 11 years, without harm. A slight garnet tone. Worth the wait!

August 2019....enjoyed after dinner with Erin while staying with us.......had Oregon PNs with dinner and thought I enjoyed them more but still pretty good although I was expecting more out of it. Still not sold on California's pinots.

drink 1st late 2017 or 2018, 2cd 2019
July 2018..full of flavour but concerned it was past its peak...maybe me, maybe poor storage, maybe more aeration needed? Still enjoyed with lamb shanks but like it younger tasting & juicier.
Jan 2023....hope last one no longer around

one per year start 2021 + gift 1-2 bottles (Erin & Smitty would enjoy)
Nov/21.....when first tasted, no mistaking it for anything other than a french wine, had that certain flavour I cant always describe. After airing a while and certainly after a few days it became a very enjoyable quaff, though I doubt I would have purchased this many, 2 would have sufficed. Try next one late 2022.
Xmas 2021....gift to Erin
Sept 2022...gift to Smitty (cottage golf)
