Pahlmeyer Napa Valley Proprietary Red Blend 2004
...a wonderful monster in the making. It boasts a dense purple color as well as notes of beef blood, creme de cassis, licorice, incense and spring flowers... Mouth-coating, unctuously textured, corpulent but well-delineated, this is a spectacular Proprietary Red that is even greater than I remember it in its youth. Bravo to Jayson Pahlmeyer...

Jammy, with some pine, spice and licorice. Bigger than Shaq.

04' Pahlmeyer Proprietary Red. It closed up soon after opening(little ripe-fruit & tight at first) 1 hour+ decanting. Brick red/dark violet. On the nose red/black fruits. These wines are generally not as approachable in their youth. A few years in the bottle they tend to settle down so very nicely. Black fruits are abundant. It is now elegant and very approachable. This 04' is definitely drinking in it's prime now. I do believe it has another 7/10 great years in it. Edit.... I would decant this for 3 hours.

Stunning brilliance. Big but not inky or oily. Surprised it is so classy.

Ripe black plums and bruised over ripe black cherries. Extremely long finish with firm seemingly new french oak influence. Very tasty!

Rich and ripe - prune and cherry cordial, brown sugar and very supple tannins.

Intense and alluring. Full bodied and still a baby clocking in at 13 years. Merits additional cellaring as it should develop further. Dark red color. Heavy and thick with black fruits, clove, chocolate, and currant. A slight mineral undertone adds character and rounds it out.
