Nose of sweet/sour fruit, cranberry, old leather, and roasted meat, slightly oxidized as it was poured for me to arrive an hour earlier, same on the palate, medium/big body, rich fruit, slightly swet fruit even, very tasty, savory Pinot Noir for sure, slightly tired but a lovely experience, and a long, long finish. uploaded photo.

Bottle #5 of 5. Soft, on its way out, but still very stylish. Slurpable sweet bright red cherry fruit profile, with enhancing spiciness. Light bodied and very svelte, velvety and feminine. Yum. Goodbye old friend!

Spectacular, again. Bright fully mature pinot red fruit, very light bodied, svelte, feminine. Sweet fruit on the attack initially, giving way to cinnamon, sassafras, floral notes (violets?), earthy, mineral-laden, brilliant defining acidity that perfectly supports the crystalline fruit, and a very long finish. Super high quality fruit, this drinks like a high end, fully mature premier cru from a superb producer. Loaded with tertiaries - cotton candy, iron, shoe polish, on and on. Consistent with previous notes, I've been fortunate to have this three times previously. This bottle maybe thinning a hair. Maybe. Drink up though, for sure. 93pts pure quality, 95pts personal preference.

Still drinking beautifully. Fully mature with a great core of fresh fruit. Love this bottle.
