Opened around 2 hours before serving. Poured into Grassl Libertes. Drank alongside a 2008 Doyard Lumieres, which was much richer in style. This had a toasty, smoky, almost skunky nose. Good richness of texture, with lemon zest and more toast on the palate. Solid, but outclassed by the Doyard.

Decanted around 3 hours before serving. Poured into Grassl Libertes. Super reduced with a ton of smoke on the nose (almost meme-ified). Fairly light in style, with stone fruit and a stony quality. The reduction here is so dominating -- almost like peat in an Islay.

Decanted around 3 hours prior to serving. Poured into Grassl Libertes. Quite primary, as you would expect. Pretty broad, on the riper side for pinot but maintains balance.
