A really nice Pinot from Selyem that was a little unsure was still gonna hold up. Nice cork having been cellared since purchase in perfect conditions. Nice amount of fruit still and a little cloudy with small amount of sediment. Would be sure to drink up if still have some.

Really don't know what prior reviewers were drinking. My bottle had a crumbly cork but the wine (quick decant to remove cork pieces) was supple and smooth, tawny and sherry smell and faint sweetness on the palate that just gave way to an awesomeness of subtle wood, earth and Pinot fruit that impressed.

This is still going strong; the fruit is there now, so perhaps this jusst needed time; great balance of cherry, cola and light earthy flavor; totally in its prime now

Quite muscular, with firmness and a backbone that is admirable, but without enough fruit to carry the whole package. This doesn't seem to be close to softening up structurally, so I will drink my last bottle soon, while there is still enough fruit around to maintain relative balance. 50+4+12+15+6=87

Not bad, but nothing special at all.

Herbal, earthy wine that is a little short on fruit. Nice silky mouthfeel though. Drink up as this faded after an hour.
