  This wine needs air. The nose explodes and seems out of balance with too much going on. Then, it comes quickly into balance with great intensity. The palate is a bit tight and tart at the beginning but it gets very good as it develops. I suggest decanting to allow this wine to shine.

  This wine benefits from decanting. This is my fourth tasting and they all seem so disjointed at first. Give it some air and it will lose the funkiness as it all comes together. It has great fruit concentration, a full palate (for a Pinot) and a huge aromatic nose. It seems a bit sour at first too but that fades as the palate evolves. It develops a fine texture with that nice cranberry edge to the cherry fruit.

  Great evolving nose and great tannins for a Pinot.

  This wine can benefit from some air/decanting. Good fruit concentration and a great evolving nose. There is a little edginess on the palate initially that rounds out over time. It eventually comes together leaving you taking micro sips and thinking wow. It has a nice cherry/cranberry and spice nose and a lingering finish. Good acidity so this wine will never feel flabby hours after opening.
