Big, Oregon Pinot. Bought from winemaker. Paired with Thomas Keller's recipe for duck breast (from Ad Hoc At Home). Opened up and enjoyed over 3 hours, continued to gain structure and weight over the course of the evening. Showed raspberry and red cherry, along with wet leaves, tobacco with a distant third note of mushroom.

Needed 5 hours to show itself. Worth the wait!

Tannins overpowered at first. 2 hours after decant, graphite and dark fruit appeared. Big and chewy wine at the end.
