Opened with an hour decant. Drank with grilled pork chops and portobellos. This was wonderful from the first sip. Open and plenty of fruit. OK not the fruit of a Sonoma Pinot but that’s why I buy Rhys. Struggle to see this getting much better with time.

this was Ok but given its age it was surprisingly closed (I hope)... not a lot of fruit or secondary flavors and a lot of acidity (which I typically like, if its alongside some palate flavor)... hmmm... maybe should wait another 4-5 years for my next... and I did decant for 3-4 hours, so had some time to open up a bit

Popped and poured. Lovely nose of strawberries and flowers. The wine is medium bodied, balanced with good punch. Cherry, strawberry, herbs, underbrush on the palate. Very good persistence and depth. This can continue to age. Impressive.

Something about the aged, dried forest leafy nature of this wine is very appealing, making it more than it would otherwise seem to be.

Earthy, forest floor, raspberries, spice. Needed to open a bit
