  Corked broke off. Couldn’t remove and had to strain wine. Tasty and delicious but experience somewhat affected.

  Some spice but almost no fruit. No off putting aromas so hard to say it’s flawed, but it’s just not at all like any Rhys Horseshoe Pinot I’ve had before.
  
  Something missing?

  Not at all like the previous bottle last year, which was somewhat burly. This was better balanced and more elegant, with some spice notes. Very, very nice! I should note that the cork almost totally crumbled; was able to get the last few millimeters of the cork out in a whole piece, so nothing dropped into the wine.

  Deep ruby core to medium ruby at the rim. Reticent nose opens over several hours to show still somewhat faint aromatics, which lean towards the darker end--black cherry, blackberry--and turned earth. The palate has decent fruit density, but the texture is rather firm and foursquare, with some drying tannins dominant on the back end. Not nearly as charming as an '07 Alpine from about 6 months ago. Hard to gauge upside. But i think a decant would be a good idea if you're opening this now.

  Delicious dark red cherries, spice, earth, and mineral notes on the nose and palate with vibrant acidity on the moderate long finish.
