Drink up - this is just over peak but still very good. 2 bottles with friends before going out. Color is nearly opaque plum with a little bricking. Nose is light and gentle but with violets and has some gravel. Tastes of bramble and dark stone fruit, nice balance and smooth. With 30 or 45 minutes of air in glass even better, though finish is slightly short, the grip is good. A very good pinot and my friends would say I'm under-rating this wine.

Pnp at restaurant. Initial impression was closed or maybe just not that interesting - let it sit for 30 or 45 min until steaks came and enjoyed it more. A decent Turley but not great. I'll try my other bottle down the road a bit.

Unfortunately I think this wine is getting far beyond it's peak - barely drinkable IMO
