Fantastic Pinot that remains fresh despite the age. 13-years in bottle and starting to mellow, but still showing lots of character. Features bright red fruit, sweet vanilla and a nice amount of acidity. Very approachable; no decanting required.

Bright cherry color. Sweet macerated cherries, black cherry, cardamon and baking spices on the nose and palate. Incredible fresh and lively for time in the bottle. Palate slightly faded and thin. Sweet vanilla on the cherry finish. Toward the end, but still quite remarkable.

Powerful nose of chinato, cherries, and a hint of vanilla.
Sweet red fruited palate. Red licorice, limoncello, with nice acid bite. more fruit driven than the wines to date, but good balance thanks to the bright acid.

Strong, bright, currant color.

Same note as last time. Fabulous Pinot. Perhaps starting to fade.

Bright, fresh and youthful. Layers of elegant yet assertive flavors and textures. This was really good.
