This has developed a little from my last taste, but is still fairly young. Black cherry and raspberry, lots of spice and loamy earth. The palate is nicely balanced, plenty of big fruit, but still plenty of tannin. I think this will develop for another 5-8 years and continue to improve.

I rated this at 90 the last time I tried it but upping that rating to a 92 this time. Does not need hardly any air time before drinking. Good nose with a little spice and flavor is great balance and nice complexity. Some fruit, some spice, great lingering finish.

Drank after dinner. Has quite a bit of mineral and gets smoother after some air time. Nice enough fruit to drink without food. I think may get better over next year.

No notes at time of consumption. Memory of wine is good, very tasty. Good Pinot style.
