Took close to 3 hours post decant to achieve the purest and fuller taste - raspberry with an earthy foundation- and velvet texture. Lovely aroma and long finish. Second evening had lost its allure. Seems fine to hold another year or two.

Dark fruited nose, with some light oak notes, forest floor, some herbs and a bit of leather. A bit austere on the palate, with medium tannins and high acid. The texture though, is velvety. It finishes dry and medium in length. This still has some room for further development. Will try again in a couple of years.

Unnumbered March 2015 PDH Berserkerfest (PDH): Decanted at 2:00 pm, poured back into the bottle at 6:30 pm. Brought to the restaurant and opened at about 7:30. Expressive red fruit nose with a bit of a floral component. The palate is tight, indicating a need for at least 5 more years in the bottle, probably more. I think I will give this as a belated wedding gift to someone married late last year and tell them to drink it on their tenth anniversary. There is a lot going on here, with dark red fruit, cedar (NOT OAK), and some herbal components, but I think patience is the key to this wine.

Very ripe Pinot nose. Palate shows more lean but definite heat on the back end. Nice wine but drinks forward and new worldy.

A bruiser to me. Dark, wood, very structured, muscle, big tannins…put away for a long time and hope the fruit lasts imo.
