  Charming floral, sour cherry, ripe jammy red berries, earthy, transparent minerals. Smooth like silk. Thought German Pinot. Amazed by its quality and superb ageing poetential. A rare treat!!

  Yum. Totally delicious. Medium to medium deep brownish mahogany, slightly cloudy, not really very appealing appearance!! From there, though, total loveliness. Nose is complex - tea, sandalwood, pot pourri - palate is so super smooth, great length, perfect balance, very winey. Pie spices, sweet berry fruit, just delicious. Complex. From magnum. It held up over three hours, but if you have them, I'd drink up sooner than later.

  From magnum. Pretty nose comprised almost entirely of tertiary character- rust, sous bois, wonton, crispy duck skin, and a touch of macerated red fruits. Incredible sweetness of fruit remaining on the palate, almost shockingly so. Soft and supple tannin supporting sous bois, orange peel, and small red fruits. Medium length finish bringing out more tertiary notes. Very reminiscent of a 98 Mount Mary Pinot I had last year, albeit with a bit more sweet fruit and vibrancy. They both are reminiscent to me of the more old-school/elegant Santa Maria Pinots with age on them, like old ABC or Lane Tanner Bien Nacido bottlings. Really enjoyable wine that kept getting better as the night went on.
