  No detailed notes. This was neither exciting nor boring. Just well-made, well-balanced pinot with no sense of place to my palate.

  The Night of Three (Random) Verticals (My House): Drank this next to the 2021. Not a shocker, but two completely different bottles of wine.
  
  Medium garnet. Little stinky at first, some mushroom, some ash. Palate is fresh, light to medium in body. Still has fruit, little red rasberry, some tart red cherry. Healthy acidity. Lovely palate with tons of life. We'll see what some bottle air does to the nose over the next few hours.
  
  Night 3 update: Smells great. That funky PnP stuff is gone and it's showing some nice fruit and florals. Juicy dark cherry on the palate. Just keeps improving. 2 hours later, the last glass is the most well-knit.
  
  Nice bottle and based on this showing has plenty of gas left in the tank.

  This bottle was stored correctly and it just passing it's peak. Red brick at the edges of the glass, the front & mid palate flavors are still there, leather and tobacco but the finish is short and I miss the long lingering flavors I usually get from DD.

  This wine is 14 years old, and is showing its age. The nose upon opening is bright and fruity. Rich color. Flavor is still fruity, but age is present. A really good wine but we need to drink the rest of this lot.
