Upon decanting, nose was rather funky, but quickly blew off and was quite pleasant after 30 minutes or so. Pale in the glass with bricking apparent. Still showing fruit but I need to drink any more in the cellar while they are enjoyable.

Decanted and began consuming immediately. Color had noticeable bricking, very little sediment in the bottle, nice cherry, spices/herbs, on the nose. Very nice on the palate, with a fairly long finish for a pinot. I wish that more had been available when I bought this2+ months ago from an impeccable cellar.

Decent full burgundy. Has lost the sweet smoky quality it had when younger and now has a berryish tone. But not as good as the 1994 drunk at the same meal.

Still the same impressions as when I last opened one on 10/26/19. A great QPR when I bought it on 7/16/18 from an impeccable cellar.
