This is a really delicious PN, although not quite at the level of the very best 2006 Sineann bottles. Ruby red, with a nose of basmati rice, blackberry liqueur (I'm thinking Chambord liqueur actually), spice cake. Someone mentions rhubarb below: if you like your rhubarb stewed with lots of sugar and some strawberries, sure, I see that. Really very interesting. A bit flabby in the mouth, though: ripe fruit and some acidity but basically in a soft user-friendly style. Easy to drink at this stage; may not improve much from now forward.

Deep ruby color, clear at the edge. Medium body. Nose of smoky blackberries and cherries, dried herbs, and a hint of funk. Less complex on the palate, with only the fruit still there, but well balanced. Drinking well.

Ruby red, medium body, nose of lingering funk, vanilla and cherry. In the mouth; lots of fun here with piercing but not tart fruit (rhubarb mentioned below is a great descriptor), some more funkiness and a fairly long finish. Lovely wine, drinking great now, but I love the possibilities here. I need to score some more.

btennan mentioned rhubarb, and that nails it for me. Or maybe it's triple-berry pie, but with a lot of steel and acidity. My bottle showed some heat, too. The racy acid and the high alcohol reminded me a little of an out-of-whack Barolo. It's tasty, but it's a little unbalanced and tart for me.

Notes from day 2. Nice dark red/light purple color. On the strong nose there is honey, dark blackberry, candied rose petal. On the palate there is overripe blackberry, black raspberry, a little licorice, herbs, and a little spice. The finish was above average in length and the wine was balanced with a good amount of acidity. A nice pinot, but not enough complexity to put it up there with the Schindler and the Resonance from Peter. 50+5+12+16+7

A: Beautiful Ruby in the glass transparent N: Clove Honey and strawberry rhubarb pie. Clover flower. T: Smokey raspberries. Delicate and honeyed summer berries. Herbal and minty with a ring of Vanilla F: Friggin long, almost eternal. Probably the longest we have ever had. Overall: Super elegant and refined. Very well integrated and balanced. Near perfect Pinot in my mind. V: 3/5

This was delicious. I have a selection of all Peter's Pinots, but this is the first I opened from the 2006 vintage...lack of patience. Great dark berries and some licorice. More balanced than I expected, perhaps bordering on elegant, especially for being so young. Wish I had bought more.

Still fresh tasting. Cherry candy and earth. Drank very well with seared salmon but tightened up over time.
