Murky with a hint of bricking beginning with a little funk at the end. After 30 minutes, the funk was gone and all was delicious. Nose of lite berries, medium fine bodied unfiltered wine. Cedar oak mild spice tart cherries, ripe raspberries, medium long finish of caramelized cherries.

Amazingly preserved! The color is still straw, not dark yellow or golden. Fascinating nose of stone fruit, watercress, and wet clay (in a good way... somewhat mineral). Med full palate, but this is very complex. Wow. Long finish. A great Aubert from a tough vintage.
This wine is 11 years old and is singing! It is completely integrated and is flawless. Smooth mouth feel; great fruit, but in perfect balance. If you think you can't get great pinot from Cal. that is over 10 years old, you are sadly mistaken.

Good deep red for a Pinot. Elegant, more cherry than other red fruits but some strawberries and raspberries. Drinking well now.

High toned, fruit forward, but well integrated. Amazingly alive after 11 years for a CAPN.
