April 8, 2012 - PnP (2 nights). Light garnet with some orange/brown. Glad I found another to try after the flawed bottle earlier in the week. This one had no defects. Lovely nose of red berries and cherry delicately interwoven with floral, earth and asian spice notes. The palate featured bright fruit with almost bracing acidity and a little 'rustic' yet unresolved tannin. This had both finesse and complexity, decent penetration and length - just some rough edges keeping it out of the elegant/excellent range.

December 21, 2007 - DO NOT drink with chocolate! Easily the worst food pairing ever. Impressions of "thin" were a result of digging into the Xmas candy bowl. Other pinots faired even worse! Nicely perfumed nose. Will check in tomorrow on the remainder of the btl.

October 17, 2007 - 34th Street Extravaganza (34th Street Cafe, Austin, TX): As good as ever. Drinking really well right now and I don't think it'll be getting that much better. Still pretty tannic right out of the bottle, but it softened up quite a bit and became very, very good, especially with the food.
