Holding up very well but I would not let it go much more than another year or two max. Well balanced tannins and fruit. Refreshingly not over fruited like some new-world Pinot's; nice earthy palate on the finish. Will hold up well to medium bodied meals but not overpower more delicate tastes. An hour of decanting made a meaningful improvement.

Some richness immediately evident on the nose, cherry fruit and a touch of stems. The palate is somewhat subtle, cherry and strawberry fruit, tart acidity. There is a bit of alcohol that causes a bit of hollowness to the mid-palate and finish. There are good flavors here, but it's a bit awkward currently.

Cherry and tart up front. Mellows after a bit with licorice. Needs another couple of years
