September 29, 2023 - Consumed over 2 days, stored in Somm du Vin, note from day 2. Appearance: Showing some signs of clouding near the edges, medium garnet. Nose: Clean, medium intensity with developing aromas of cranberry, spice, leather, and mushroom with a green vegetal note - broccoli. Palate: Dry, medium acid, soft medium tannin, medium body, medium+ intensity, 13.7% abv with flavors of cranberry, leather, and spice with a medium+ finish.
Balance: Excellent
Length: Excellent
Intensity: Excellent
Complexity: Very Good
This felt very youthful on day one, the leather and mushroom notes I'm getting this evening were much less subdued upon opening yesterday. I'm guessing this is nearing peak, but should be good for another 2-3 years if properly stored. An excellent example of an aged northern Willamette Pinot. -

December 27, 2021 - Faultless, sweet earthy Pinot with lovely balance, reminiscent of at least a premier cru votes de Nuits, a Chambolle perhaps.
AMW rates this 99… second best bottle of her life. -
