13.7% Still strong cherry core but very cloudy. Started very disjointed with a very high acid which seemed not integrated at all but then settled down. The wine was changing, from cinnamon to some olives notes, earthy and floral, dark cherry with raspberry and cranberry. Also some very ripe fraise des bois. Absolutely needs food. Overall, nice pinot character but while it was enjoyable, you could tell it started going downhill. I guess it was a nice little wine 3-4 years ago. But I certainly enjoyed it for what it was.

too bad, this one has fallen apart completely. chemical aromas, Choke cherry flavors and a real pucker at the end. Aeration and sitting only changed the color to oxidized brick. One bottle left, but bet it is a goner too.

Stil too tart on the finish to enjoy, although not as noxious as the priot bottle. Let them sit too long, a goner
