Opened one hour before drinking. Slight orange tinge at the rim. No sign of oxidation in the nose. Fairly deep ruy color for a 12 year old pinot. Taste of ripe cherries. Very soft tannins. Sooth finish. Very drinkable now. Probably at its peak. Prfect match to grilled salmon.

Impressive start with aromas of smoky cherry, strawberry, earth and spice hints. Similar red fruit flavors in equal balance with earthy character. Good acidity provides support from middle to finish, which showcases spice very nicely.

Very intriguing nose. Definitely on its descent, but still a nice wine.

Dirty nose of old socks, mushrooms and orange with some "watery" smell. Decent body, interesting experience, 86-88. It is probably on the way down...
