February 4, 2024 - Nice fruity with acidity. Tart cherry along with some strawberry and medium finish and floral. Not much tertiary flavor for 13 year old wine. i enjoyed it.

December 24, 2023 - Delicious tart red cherry and strawberry with spice notes on the nose and palate with refreshing acidity on the long finish. Drinking beautifully from magnum!

October 31, 2023 - A fully mature, low-key pinot, with moderate acidity, a nice touch of bitter stemminess, flavors of leather and leaves, and a note of licorice on the aftertaste. This didn't attract much attention from our guests, but I liked it.

February 4, 2023 - Tried to coravin a glass, when I pumped it, the cork popped up a bit. I find this very unusual for Thys as I typical find their corks tighter than anyone’s !
Strange funk - fruit there but something was off.
Will pull the cork tonight and see if it blows off or goes down the drain. -

January 23, 2023 - Light and lean; tart with cedar-earth; balanced and elegant; supportive tannin with smooth long sweet finish.
