Opaque look, red and blue fruit with a hint of menthol on the nose, deceptive structure due to the smooth edge, dark and full, rich and expansive, the palate shows red plum, spice, dark cherry, fresh herb and orange liquor, makes for a nice sipping pn, had with copper river salmon, gains better harmony with air and continues to deliver, will hold up in the cellar

Fascinating, evolving pinot even drunk so young (and it has a good 7 years left, easily). Violets and currants, cherry and its well-integrated oak. Yum.

Nose- fresh red fruit. Cherries, possibly some strawberry. Some fresh herbs as well but quite subtle. Floral. Not warm or wet. Very nice.
Palate- medium body with some solid tannin structure. More red fruit. Less herbal or floral. Medium plus linger. Opens further with more air.
