Thursday, December 25, 2008 - Christmas dinner wine, and fared reasonably well against ham. Nice cherry on both the nose and palate. Decent acidity. Good characteristic Pinot profile, but lacked persistence. There's a moment on the palate where you think (and hope) that it's just going to take off and soar, but it drops off instead and feels a little empty. On the very last swallows of the second night it seemed to overcome that and pick up some power, so maybe it just needed more time.
