Bottle appeared to have been well stored as evidenced by only 2mm or so coloration from wine at end of cork. Nose initially indicated that this was past its prime, however it improved somewhat with air over the next 45 minutes. Color was surprisingly lighter than most pinots I've had (but most have been much younger). Mouthfeel was definitely better than the nose throughout the evening. Definitely holding together during its graceful decline, though its best days were likely years ago. Drink now.

Sweet cherries, red berries, burnt strawberries and spice, with hints of smokey oak. Elegant and well balanced.

Lovely, smooth cherries, red berries, with light notes of spice and oak. Better than the last bottle.
