Martinelli Reserve Martinelli Vineyard Pinot Noir 1998
Ratings on Delectable
John Kemper
Amazingly, this '98 Martinelli Pinot Noir 'Martinelli Vineyard Reserve' as it warmed and aerated developed jammy flavors of raspberry and black cherry. Initially, on the nose no fruit was detectable, just tarry aromas of licorice, grilled meat and sage. I thought I may have cellared this one five years too long, but I do not remember this ever tasting any better. Well balanced with smooth and harmonious tannins. Sadly, my last bottle.
