  I am less impressed compared to my last tasting 2 years ago. The primary flavors have aged considerably, with little secondary development. It is still well balanced with good acidity, but fading. I will stick with my 2026 end of drinking window, but I will keep a bottle or 2 until 2036 on the chance that this could blossom into something completely different with extended aging.

  Incredible bottle after 12 years. Immediate notes of white pepper, cherry with great acidity. This bottle will continue to improve which means I'm holding my last bottle.

  mmmmm. What a beautiful wine. Very delicate flavors of red and blue fruit, some hints of earth, nicely structured on the light side of medium bodied.

  Suzanne's bottle, opened at Cuvee. Not decanted. Warm red color, tart cherry fruit, earthy with some spice. Very lovely and Burgundian and barely middle aged, there's more complexity to come.

  Bright red fruit, light, spicy, saline. Burgundian as all get out. This is the only 11’ Willamette Valley Pinot I’ve had so far that tasted good.
  Markedly different experience from the bottle we tried in 2020.
