January 9, 2024 - Just ripe fruit entry, recently picked grapes, young balanced with delicate spices, fresh fruit acid, whisper of herbs. A sheer negligee of age on the nose and on the palate, ghostly shade of 1994?.
How can this be a1994 Pinot Noir? I checked the label thrice the bottle never left my cellar since Winery shipment 30+ years ago. It may be that I have passed in my sleep and am dreaming the dream of an oenophile, which wine lover does not dream of Pinot Noir? If so, don't wake me. -

March 20, 2023 - Color is dark with browning rim and more as glass is emptied. Sweet ripe fruit too sweet, too ripe, a Beaux Freres almost sherry, addictive in its unique taste profile. A few Burgundy experts may dispute; age and concentration, not sweetness, essence of Pinot Noir, Nature's sweet grapes reborn. I will repurpose for a dessert wine with bittersweet chocolate, recall 1994, was it a sweet year, the BF will encourage my memories.

November 23, 2020 - This is still so very good, retaining plenty of fresh black cherry and berry on both its nose and palate, with sweet baking spice. This isn’t as powerful as it was when younger, but the added complexity of age has been kind to this wine, while still nicely bright for its age.

December 1, 2019 - Popped my final bottle the other night so my notes are drawn from memory. Singing on the nose and still drinking well.
