Ponzi, Merry Edwards

[dananne]

Well, I finally got around to popping that '99 Ponzi I had been meaning to try.

Very well put together pinot. Strong ripe cherry nose, silky mouthfeel, some earthiness and pine needle on the finish. It's all about the cherries, though. Alc. 13%, $20 at Binny's in Chicago. Drunk as a stand-alone. Wish I could find some around here in Atlanta.

Wonders -- in your review of the event you noted that this bottling was preferred over Ponzi's reserve. Was wondering if you could share your thoughts on that. A QPR thing?
