  Oddly cloudy but it didn't affect the taste. Nicely aged Oregon Pinot. Viscous on the palate with plenty of aged red fruit. Lovely.

  Oregon... (Spoon and Stable): Unscored, and this was towards the end of a tasting, but I wrote down 2001. Over the hill and alcoholic. This was a total pass. If you own any, maybe make some coq au vin?

  Coravin'd 2 hours (natural cork BTW). Medium/light color with a clear rim. Very bright and lively aromas feature red cherry skin, rose hips and sweet spices. That theme continues on the palate adding fresh and delicate flavors of gently sweet red cherries and herb tea balanced by fresh acidity. The tannins are fully integrated and the gentle finish is long and memorable. Blind I might think this was a Beaune 1er Cru. Lovely. Drink now through 2020.

  (bought on release, exc cellar, perfect fill. Pop and pour). Initial nose attractive and palate a bit lean. Within 15 minutes nose filled out to smell, I swear, like a great Nuit St Georges. On palate developed very full pinot fruit, rich and palate coating, layered, but never clumsy or hot. Red fruits, brambles, delicious. Marked down because of short finish however. Spouse and I fought over who got the last pour! Overall beautiful nose, rich palate and well matured fruit, but short finish. Much better than last bottle from about 5 years ago. Another example that Shea is an excellent vineyard. If I have any more will drink up as doubt will improve further. May age or hold longer in magnum format.

  Still a wonderful bottle, perhaps because this was a magnum. Very rich in fruit with subtler flavors of earth and smoke.
