May 17, 2014 - Much vanilla, quite heavy, rounded but deep, would have excepted more complexity. Still nice though.

Lilja Likes this wine: 87 points
May 13, 2014 - N: nail polish remover, dried fruit, cherries, leather, earth, spicy pepper and strawberries.
M: high acidity, medium body, mature, but distinct tannins. Lacking some fruit and intensity.
Lots of Pinot guesses, and there's definitely some similarities here.
