April 15, 2024 - Intensely spiced, with perhaps too much whole cluster dominance. Fresh and candied red berries throughout are still nicely fresh. This can easily cellar longer, especially given this was in 1/2 bottle format.

March 29, 2024 - PnP, no decant needed. Opens with black cherry, raspberry, vanilla, dark fruits, spice, and herbs. Layers of flavor showing Black cherry, vanilla, dark fruit, spice, stems, herbs, black raspberry. Beautifully balanced with good acidity. Long smooth finish. A perfect match to salmon.

March 19, 2024 - Nice but was a bit disjointed on opening. After about 3 hrs intensity increased and it’s quite compelling. Its still quite tannic in my opinion so i think it can age for a while

February 16, 2024 - Fantastic. Nose leaps from the glass. Dark red fruit and orange on the nose with a vibrant attack in the mouth and a lovely finish. Best Pinot I have had in the last few months without a doubt.
