Still tasting great !! Perfect cork after over a decade in the bottle, easily removed. Consumed over two days. I agree with my previous tasting notes. My last bottle of the vintage year.

My note of a year ago was too ominous. This bottle was delightful and not over the hill. Perfect cork after over a decade in the bottle. Consumed over two days. This wine showed more fresh fruit both days, on day two this wine had softened only slightly. Deep ruby color with minor oxidation, clarity medium. Aromas of pomegranate and cranberry. Flavors of black cherry, raspberry, and forest floor. This Pinot Noir has a medium finish. A flavorful and balanced Pinot Noir. Great fruit from Bacigalupi vineyards on the warmer northern end of Russian River AVA in Sonoma County. I still have one bottle of this vintage remaining in my cellar and will verify my tasting notes soon.

Maybe nearing the end of life. Perfect cork after a decade in the bottle. Consumed over two days. This wine showed more fresh fruit on the first day, on day two this wine displayed dried fruit flavors and lost something. Deep ruby color with slight oxidation, clarity medium. Aromas of pomegranate and cranberry. Flavors of dried cherry, raspberry, and forest floor. This Pinot Noir has a medium finish. A flavorful Pinot Noir that is slightly out of balance. Drink up, it may not get any better.

风格和08一致,同样醒酒一小时。更新鲜,果味更多,红茶比08少些。我个人更喜欢09

Light, dried fruit flavor. Easy drinking not much going on. Could be past it's prime.

Aroma of berries and earthy. Seemed flat and out of balanced compared to other vintages. Good, not more than that
