Terrific bottle of aged pinot. Very balanced with lots of fruit left. The low alcohol reduced the mouthfeel and probably held it back at first but it finished for 4 minutes and actually expanded on the palate. I'd like to find more.....

Started funky but that blew off. A bit jumbled and messy at the forepalate but had a terrific harmonious finish. I would have liked a bit more acidity and less oak/butter but the mid evolved nicely as the night went on.

This is beautiful and at peak or just a bit past. regardless, terrific acidity and very exotic mid-palate layers. The fruits are beginning to fade but are not showing aged qualities. A truly well-made wine that surprises you at 10 years old.
