Holding up well, enjoyed with friends on New Year's eve, fruit remains, nice structure, and acids intact. Could last a several more years but no need to wait.

This was very good on day one, and truly outstanding on day two. Day one - nice nose, a tad sharp initially on front end, good red fruit, smooth back end. Day two - the nose opened up considerably with classic pinot aromas, the texture was silky and smooth, the fruit was well integrated with the acidity, it was singing. My last bottle, wish I had many more. This is in its prime drinking window.

Matured nicely, fruit remains, will hold up several more years, but very enjoyable now.
