Pulled this wine out of my cellar as I have been trying to drink up my older stuff. This bottle has been cellared at 55 degrees since I obtained it on release. Poured a glass with my Coravin. Color was still garnet, not an older wine look. Nice nose. Fruit very much present without tannin. Shocking-still drinking great. Glad I have 6 more! The wine looks garnet colored. The legs are slow. There is light sediment in the bottle. It smells like blackberry. The body is medium. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has low acidity.

I pulled this out of my cellar as I am trying to drink up all of my older wines. I found this wine to have very good pinot fruit without tannin. I was really shocked at how good it was. This makes the argument of having wines in a cellar at 55 degrees and 70% humidity over the long haul is the way to go. I love this wine. Glad I have 3 more to drink.
