04 Rhys Home

[Cliff]

This is the first truly convincing red Rhys I've had, and it was very convincing. Hard to believe it was the first vintage, made in a garage. Beautiful, layered aromatics. This is what SCM Pinot Noir should be. It had lovely red fruit with spicy overtones but none of the cola I find too often. It could have had more depth and density, but those are quibbles. Very satisfying.

Sounds like it's time to pull my remaining bottle.

Hard to say based on my one bottle -- I gather there is a lot of variation. Mine was clearly one of the good ones, and it had plenty of life left. I will be interested to see my remaining bottle in five years or so.
