oak/cedar flavors, the extra years and 375ml bottle have really mellowed this out. The tannins present in 07 have settled somewhat into a lighter beautiful, floral stunner. I love this wine.
More tannic and fruity than the older 04, more alcohol noticed pepper, herbal green qualities as well. A great PN that reminds me of the nearby Rhys pinots I've recently enjoyed. Like the Rhys this guy needs probably 5+ years to mature.
RP gave it 93, maybe he saw the potential down the road but right now its drinking like a 91.

Huge fruity strawberry nose that you smell coming from a mile away. Good value.
