Jim,

You have drunk a bit of the Piri over the yrs-what do you think is a sweet spot for drinking them-I have some of the 99. I seem to recall most of your TN seem to say they are still not really ready for drinking.

FWIW, I had a bunch of the 98, and it seemed to me to have peaked over the past couple of years.

The 98 vintage was on the ripe side and most of the wines were not long keepers.

Not to mention the botrytis in many wines.

They are definitely on the downslope. I gave a bunch to my sister last year at Christmas because I feared I wouldn't get to them quickly enough.

Monkeys like botrytis too.

I'll put on lipstick if you'll give me some, too.
