2004 Hurley Vineyard Garamond Pinto Noir

Can a top Marque Peninsula label last 14 years, from an outstanding vintage?

Found this hiding in my cellar, don't know how i forgot it, but i'll take one for the team.

Opens fairly "old" on the nose, without the fruit you would expect from a good burgundy of the same age. The palate, whilst obviously looking its age, has some lovely underlying fruit sweetness that surprised me, had pretty good structure too.
Considering all up, i think it has lasted well.

What's your storage like.?
Had many young ones but never had an older one
The alcohols on these can be feisty..

Hi Michel,

Storage is very good, under the house cellar in Polystyrene boxes.

I tasted an ‘04 Main Ridge Half Acre maybe 3 years ago that I reckon would still be kicking. Revelatory. I’ve absolutely no idea why I haven’t been buying Main Ridge since that day
