2003 Williams Selyem Pinot Noir Flax Vineyard - USA, California, Sonoma County, Russian River Valley (2/17/2006)
Very Dark.
Initially very strange. prickly and almost effervescent. the nose was even "pointy". disjointed. only had a glass and vacu-vined it and picked something else to drink that night.
next day it was better, had 2 glasses.

3rd day it was very good. it had calmed down to a rich forest floor type nose ans taste, with some spice intermixed. a tad smokey. I enjoyed the 03 Weir Vineyard right out of the bottle so i guess this shows me that these need to sit for a while. eventually became a 90 but i would wait or decant for a long while with the expectation that it will be much better and enjoying it later won't take so much work. (90 pts.)

    Dark, slightly cloudy ruby in color; Tasted double blind and was so easy to guess, Sonoma RRV Pinot. Although it had some complexity it was horrible with the food. It tasted very sweet and was syrupy in texture. It was better without the food but is not a wine for me. (88 pts.)
