Thanks Angelo for opening this. Popped and poured, then consumed over a couple of hours. Dark red in the glass. Definitely a fine Pinot nose, on the dark side, but really not giving much. Palate was even tighter. Acid seemed average, and I didn’t get a handle on the tannins. No tertiary notes, and honestly not much fruit either. I have faith that this wine is shut down hard, and not just mediocre. Some 2010’s are singing right now, perhaps this one needs time for its grandeur to unfurl.
Firmly in its window of disappointment. Try again in 5 or 10 years.
