PnP, consumed over 1 hour. Appearance: Clear, medium ruby - dark for Pinot, but pretty typical for SC. Nose: Clean, medium+ intensity with developed aromas of baking spice, cloves, black cherry, raspberry, and herbs. Palate: Dry, medium acid and tannin, medium+ intensity, medium body, 14.4% abv with developed flavors of dried cherry, baking spice, and clove with a long finish. Overall this performed magnificently, over the brief hour spent with the wine it rounded out noticeably, hitting on all cylinders - balance, complexity, intensity and length. Can drink now or over next 2 years.

14.4% abv. Received a partial bottle to try from my oenophile neighbor.
Served with roast beef. Clear dark ruby red on the pour. No bricking evident; bottle has always been carefully stored. Cherry & Raspberry on the nose. Exceptionally smooth, silk-like on the palate; Cola with Cherry. A nice round mouth feel with subdued tannins and moderate acidity. Nice lingering finish with the tannins and acid coming to the fore.

Still doing well after 12 years. Light to medium bodied and full of great cherry nose and taste.
