June 7, 2017 - From Magnum. Outrageously good tonight. Seamlessly water-weighted red berry / cherry fruit to the palate. This has shed it's oak next to 2011 (also from Mag). An absolute joy to drink.

September 18, 2015 - High acidity. Strawberry mint. Has a long way to go before able to compare with more balanced Côte d'Or.

February 22, 2014 - Nice nose of red fruit. Taste was a bit muted. Fruit was not fresh and tarte. A muddy finish. Probably past its prime but still a balanced Pinot.

November 15, 2013 - Wonderful Pinot - new world but with balance. Bitter sweet tannins that counter the big fruit. One of my all time favorite Pinots! Great today but definitely room for a few more years.
