Much darker than I would have imagined at this point in its development, this wine had notes of cola, spice, and dark fruits with a heady floral/fruit nose. Nice solid finish but lacked that hard to define "etherial-ness" I have found in other aged C-noirs (e.g. Littorai).
Much nicer that my last bottle opened five years earlier.

A little disappointed. Perhaps waited too long for this. Fruit was still vibrant with structure, but tasted like stewed, jammy fruits such that the nose felt a bit pinched and the body was a bit disjointed.

Spicy raspberry, cherry and typical cola flavors. Good fresh acid balance. Very nice Pinot. My bootle must have been much better than the last few tasters.

Weird funky nose which blew off after about 20 minutes morphing into a really nice wine which was still drinking beautifully way after it's end date.
