  Delicious, still fruity but well balanced. Drank with mixed grill and a garlic hunter style sauce. The slight sweetness taste of the wine went well with the meal. Still great after 10+ years.

  This wine is stronger than I expect of a Pinot. I usually expect s smooth experience. I let it aerate for 10 minutes in the glass after pouring it using my Coravin system. This is my third glass from this bottle which is accessed less than a month ago. I taste the berries, but I also taste a sour aftertaste. It is very smoky. I can only rate it as an ok wine.

  Opened 1 hour prior to pouring. Bright red fruit aromas; strong black cherry preponderance on the palate. Well balanced; soft tanins; medium finish.

  Earthy and complex, light color and very well integrated at this point.
