2016 Patricia Green Balcome 2A, Mortimer Cooke Memorial
A special bottling Jim made to honor the owner of Balcome vineyard. As I recall, proceeds went to a Newburg animal shelter that was close to Mortimer’s heart. I am probably opening this way too young, but I have six bottles and the cause is right.
Decanted eight hours. Deep rich nose on opening. Not noticeably changed eight hours later. Classical PGC PN with tons of depth and structure. Pushing 14% it is a bit hot, but comforting for a chilly evening. It seems a wine well suited to the season with lots autumnal character. Pretty damn tannic and bruising right now. Tons of potential locked in a tight box. Yep. Way too young. This needs at least five more years.
Thanks Jim. Thanks David! ![[cheers.gif]](/uploads/db3686/original/2X/0/0ff9bfcdb0964982cd3240b6159868fbdf215b1a.gif "cheers"){kind=small}
