  1/27/2015 - Deux Chevaux Does not like this wine:

  Dark, rich, but rather dull, simple, sweet, with inadequate acid; it made a dandy pork stew.

  Still drinks great. Cherry flavors predominate but an hour in the glass brings out more pinot spices.

  Medium weight pinot with perfect balance and very complex flavors and great finish. The fruit is black cherry, black berry and a nice cola and clove component. Drinking perfect now.

  Certainly reminds one of Burgundian style pinots at this stage. Just enough earth to notice and mild dark fruit and tea flavors have medium length. Drinks well now.

  Always pleasing Byron Pinot. Black cherry and allspice on the nose and palate. Light body was perfect pairing with grilled salmon.
