  Double decanted one hour. Drank with BBQ-seared, beef tenderloin steak. A good pairing on a warm evening at the Kendrick's. Nose a delicate blend of floral and forest floor. Palate dark cherries and ripe strawberries cradled by gentle tannins. Medium bodied with 12.8 % alc. Clean finish. We enjoyed this bottle to the last sip. A fine example of a gentle hand, bringing out the essence of Pinot Noir in a lighter year.

  Similar profile to a year ago - took a full 90 minutes in the decanter to open. Started by clamping down hard at the end, with lots of smoke and flint. Then became more expressive - mixture of fruit and brambles, with mushroom and barnyard notes becoming more pronounced. Delicious!

  Wow. Not at all like the closed young Blue Mountains I had experienced with earlier vintages. Started with soft pinot fruit and a stilted, closed finish, now (after 90 minutes in decanter) is more smoky and plummy with a wonderful lush pinot nose and a much longer finish. Looking forward to savoring the next five bottles over the coming years.
