  I think it is past peak at this point. It's acid minus, ripe fruit structure is not helping to keep it alive.

  Held up beautifully from cellaring. Fruit still in tact with round finish and dark berry notes. Paired perfectly with rack of lamb.

  At or just past peak but still delicious !! I agree with my tasting note of 10 months ago !!
  Perfect cork after over a decade in the bottle, easily removed. Dark ruby colored with little to no oxidation and medium clarity. Consumed over two days. Pommard (non-heat treated); Pommard 5 (heat treated) Dijon clones 115, 667 and 777 Field selection, and Joseph Swan Vineyard clone Pinot Noir from Klopp Ranch along the eastern edge of Laguna Ridge in the Russian River Valley AVA. This was the last bottle of the vintage in my cellar. Just starting to wane, just barely past peak.

  In a great spot, this wine is tasting extremely good right now !!
  The cork was nearly perfect after a decade in the bottle. This is a balanced Pinot Noir that I consumed over two days. Deep ruby color with no oxidation, clarity medium. Aromas of pomegranate and carmel, flavors of sweet cranberry, cherry, rhubarb, and forest floor with a pleasant medium to long finish. Popped and poured, this wine really benefited from gentle oxygen since it was much more soft & integrated on day two. Great fruit with firm acidity made into a very balanced Pinot Noir from the Klopp Ranch in the Russian River Valley appellation of Sonoma County. This Pinot Noir is an age worthy wine and has many more years of life left. I still have one more bottle of this vintage remaining; I may open it in the next few months or so to verify my rating.
