  Boston Wine & Poker, Lincoln, Mass.: Lots of vanilla, some detectable alcohol, and an exotically spicy profile -- cardamom and clove. Last September, we had the Kosta Browne Kanzler Vineyard from the same vintage (thanks to Michael M.), and that wine was very advanced, with a lot of wet-leaf flavor. This one, by contrast, still seems to be in its prime. (Michael M. guessed that this one was a Wind Gap Pinot, which is pretty darn close.)

  Opened and poured. Thinish and glycemic, some bricking on the rim. Very neutral on the nose. Heat and fruit one the palate. Opening with air, gaining traction. A little thin and hollow on day two +. The RRV bottling seems better at this point.

  I liked it better than a prior bottle I had a few years back. Fresh and energetic despite a tawny coloring that has developed. Ripe but not jammy, just lacking in complexity, making it a bit dull despite the pedigree.

  Hanging in there, but not for much longer. Bruised red fruits under a veil of prune, raisin, and burnt caramel. Smooth texture. Enjoyable, but probably better a few years ago.
