  CLT Wine Dinner (Mini-LMHB vertical, Aged 20+ yr Napa, and Aged 10+ yr Pinot) (Charlotte, NC): Double decant 90 minutes before serving; Could have used 2 hours or more.
  Color: Solid and dense coloring of dark blackberry; would have guessed a 3 year old Napa Cabernet on looks alone
  Nose: Ask someone else because I hate dill and I hate American oak and that overwhelmed anything I could pick up; The aromas integrated hours later but I had given up on the nose of this wine by this point
  Palate: Big and chewy; Excellent and softening flavors of ripe black raspberry and black cherry with a note of spice. Comparatively simple and more straightforward relative to the 05 Burgundy but no less flavorful. If you like Thomas Rivers Brown you will like this wine. Good thing I like TRB.
  Finish: Long and flavorful.
  Good tonight; this wine can easily age another 5+ years with little fear of falling off.

  Dark purple, unusual intense color for Pinot. If you are looking for burgundy like Pinot this won’t be your jam. Huge, concentrated, sweet cherry, chocolate cherry, nice oak and vanilla with tart finish

  Continues to drink beautifully! Lovely dark red cherry and raspberry on the nose and ripe palate with delicious cedar spice notes and acidity on the long finish.
