  very nice oregon pinot with age. This has nice ripe rasberry puree typr fruit and integrated tannins and acidity. Clearly new world (was hoping for Burgundian elements) and the age, in this case has let it evolve seamlessly.

  Last time I tried this vintage was 2009. Tasted immediately after opening the bottle; chilled to European cellar temperature and poured into a Domaine Drouhin Riedel Oregon Pinot Noir glass. This wine has aged quite well! After 19 years the aromas are more about the secondary notes now: tobacco leaf, cedar, cocoa, and sour red cherry (after an initial burst of ripe black cherry). Tannins are holding firm, acidity is definitely there, nice flavor profile that I expect from Laurène. After about 15 minutes of air time things start to go downhill a bit...is this bottle too old? But then after about 75 minutes things get better: red cherry and a bit of menthol. This wine is clinging to life by now, sadly, though I purchased this bottle at auction so I'm not sure how it was stored.

  Medium-dark garnet color. Initial aromas are cran-raspberry with black tea and sous bois. Palate has rhubarb, cranberry, cherry, raspberry, black truffle, and some other earthy elements that carry into a medium-long finish. There is still acid holding the fresher fruit flavors in focus as some of the earthier notes fill in. This bottle was in a great place for my palate and I expect this is a great time to drink these. Drink or hold.

  Opened about 30 minutes before serving but did not decant. Poured to a nice ruby coloring. Initially a nose with lots of funk and perhaps a hint of brett. It passed leaving a flavor profile predominantly cherry and dust.
