TN: 2005 Thomas Pinot Noir Dundee Hills

Ruby color. Nose of mountain flowers, iodine, cinnamon, raspberry, earth. Fulsome yet chiseled layers of concentrated, pure red raspberry and black cherry fruit with a touch of iron and tartness. Refreshing acidity and still-firm tannin leading to a long finish of heady red fruit cut with earth, grip, and briar. Really cookin’ at age 14. (93 pts).

I have a couple mags of this “buried” offsite. I really should try to dig them out…thx. for the note.

John,

This vintage has real staying power. I felt this bottle still exhibited some primary elements! Mags should be fine.

Cheers,
Doug

Thanks Doug. Good to know…

Appreciate the TN, sounds great - only vintage of Thomas I own, need to dig a bottle out.

It’s a good vintage to have. Would be interested in your impressions if and when you sample. I’ve really enjoyed the 05 and 07 thus far.

Cheers,
Doug
