Initial "swampiness" on opening was really the harbinger of good things to come, and on day two the complexity and structure come through with notes of freshly cut hay and moss. This is (for me) one of the rare Pinot's that improves after being opened for a day.

Bold and awesome. Fruit followed by smooth cedar and cigar box notes. Even better on day two. This wine benefits from decanting, or opening a few hours before drinking.

Ripe red cherries on the nose, followed by brown sugar, bacon and pine tar lingering smoothly on the palate.
Mmmm. Membership has its privileges :)
