  Still dark plum/smoke red with moderate transparency. Decanted off fine sediment. Aromas of ripe raspberry, blackberry, blueberry, and some spice. Palate has some oxidative coffee and dark chocolate notes joining the raspberry/blueberry spice core. Some dried leaf notes also join in on a medium finish. My experience with older Mt. Eden Pinot is that it goes through this phase to emerge on the other side with a nice strawberry and black tea fruit presentation without so much of the coffee/chocolate oxidation.

  This reminded me of a wine in transition, as it has the tangy, leathery note of impending age, yet the fruit still exhibits a fruit bowl with blueberry and raspberry, almost kind of fruit punchy. Finished tangy with kiwi fruit and a ripe note.

  Blind: confident this was pinot from burgundy.
  
  Saddle and moss nose, very old world. Tannins and very fine and gentle, integrated. Definitely showing the charm of aging

  Showing very well right from PNP. Color moving towards brownish. Still plenty of vibrant fruit, plenty of acidity and a very enjoyable dose of earthiness to it. Quite enjoyable right now. Not sure additional time will reward at this point, could be on the decline. Notes of caramel, leather, red fruit, cranberry.
