Bright, gorgeous texture, candied cherries, long and lingering finish. Incense smoke on the nose. Strikingly pure candied fruit on the palate. Not a lot of life left IMHO, but beautiful now.

Nice fruit on the nose. Good complexity (mix of fruit and earth) in the mouth. Bright finish with good energy throughout. Drinking well, but still has some life in it.

This continues to evolve and show well. Bright red fruit still on the nose, cherries, potpourri, and a hint of baking spice. Pure and clean on the palate, with a fleshy showing of raspberry, red cherry, cranberry and spice. A little brightness through the finish, along with fine tannins, balance things out nicely.

Had several pinots with our turkey dinner. This by far the best, most complex. Lovely.
