  Drank over a few hours. Drank in Gabriel Standart.
  Appearance is deep intensity, ruby colour. Some fine sediments. Legs.
  Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of cola, caramel, toasty oak, licorice, ripe dark red cherries, black cherries, emerging earth. Developed.
  On the palate, dry, medium+ acidity, medium+ alcohol (14.2%), medium tannins, medium+ body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of ripe dark red cherries, black cherries, black grapes, cola, caramel, sweet toasty chocolate oak, sweet spices, licorice, brambly earth. Long finish.
  Well, it is a complex Pinot Noir, just in a way very ripe kind of way with oak makeup too. One of those typical ambitious hot Russian River Valley Pinot types. Good and not really my preference nowadays. Drink already.

  Balanced and silky wine with smooth tannins. May have been a bit past it's prime as the fruit was subdued, but it was still a beautiful wine.

  Smooth and elegant. Maybe a bit to soft of a finish, but very good overall.
