Opened 95, 00, 05 and 10 for a party. Let breath 3 hours. My prior taste of the 05 left me unimpressed, thought the 05 was flat and flabby. This was a much better bottle; best of the flight. Well balanced, black fruit, smoke and forest floor aromas, silky and deeply textured on the palate.

Drinking very well now. Medium red color with minimal pinot funk on nose. Restrained fruit, modest body, nice acidity. Really quite well balance and quite pleasurable after 30 minute air time. Good stuff.

Opened for a woot tasting. Went over very well. Considered "just what you want an Oregon Pinot Noir to be." Decanted for 90-120 minutes before we drank it.

Decanted for about an hour. Spicy oak smoke and cherries. One of the best pinots I've tasted in a long time.
