It's been 10 months since my last bottle and fundamentally nothing has changed. That's not a bad thing. A lovely nose of blackberries. Great fruit on the palate, black cherries, blackberries, bit of warm spice. The fruit is prominent, but light on its feet. Polished tannins, nice acidity and balance. Moderately long, light finish of black cherries. Drink over the next 2 or 3 years.

Not a great pinot, but thoroughly enjoyable for what it is. There is a tiny bit of funk on the nose which quickly blew off to show some nice raspberry notes. Pretty fruit on the palate, strawberry, fine tannins, nice acidity. Moderately long finish Nice. An 86 point wine ...But wait there's more. As this sat in my glass it got more and more complex. The nose showed cinnamon notes and the palate brightened and picked up weight showing dark fruits, black cherry and spice. It went from 86 points to 89 with an upside. I think this will need 3 to 5 more years to fully express itself.

Fruit forward but not overly so. Modest acidity lends needed subtlety.
