  Cherry, with a little blood orange and some damp earth. Medium bodied, good acids, just a touch of tannin. In a good place. B+/B

  -- decanted 60 minutes before initial taste --
  -- tasted non-blind over a few hours --
  
  NOSE: reserved; red-fruited; hints of new plastic and general sweetness; very light touch of funk; very light vegetal/sewage note after a couple hours open --- very light.
  
  BODY: garnet color of medium to medium-deep depth; slight bricking at the edges; medium-light to medium bodied.
  
  TASTE: red-fruited; zesty; strong earthy component --- NSG?; simultaneously fruity and rustic; good acidity; in a nice place right now, and much better than my previous bottle; moderate concentration of fruit; alc. not noticeable; not complex; perhaps a touch heavy for a Pinot (or muddled); drink now and over the next 3 – 5 years.
  
  50, 5, 11, 16, 7 = 89

  Pretty, mid weight wine, at perfect drinking point. Decent length, round, still some red fruit. Likely at peak

  6/1/2016 - chcook Likes this wine:

  PNP. Cork intact and wet 1/4 way up. Color garnet. Nose is classic ageing burgundy. Mostly sous bois and some iodine w spices. Swishing shows mostly acid structure with some fine tannins bringing up the rear - borders on astringent. Sipping however allows the density of this to balance the structure and the fruit continues on the med length polished finish. This is very nice tonight.
  
  The village wines from 05 seem ready to go but this will undoubtedly hold or even improve some in my opinion.
