Still had some fruit even after 18 years. Opened up some as it breathed, and got better. Color was definitely brick. Have some left and will see if it holds up overnight.

Even though the ratings said this wine was past due, it wasn't... this wine is what drew me in to buying pinot noir... the beautiful soft balance of fruit and acid and backbone, the soft vanilla countering the raspberries and cherries, and the wonderful bouquet of softened leather and spent tobacco. Oh how I wish we had more... thanks Mark!

Mostly dark raspberries,cherry, plum, soft spice notes underneath. Dark dense red color with slight purple. Tannins still strong and completely coat mouth when first opened. Still very strong not tasting ten years old maybe good for another ten.

Wine still going strong, with secondary fruit present and quite a bit of acid. Definitely not tired.
