  Tydelig utviklet nese. Tobakk, løv, treverk, roser og røde bær. Saftig og delikat frukt i munn. Ganske nedslipte tanniner. God balanse og medium lang finish.

  Consistent with previous bottles. Very light and earthy. More of a food wine. Tart, light red fruits and earth.

  Popped and poured. This showed very reductive and smoky at first so I threw it into a decanter for a bit. It seemed to help open it up slightly but this bottle was a bit more shut down than the last one I had and the fruit seemed to be hiding a bit.

  Popped and quick decanted. Light ruby color. Nose of spicy red berry fruit, cherry, cedar. Similar flavors on the palate with tart red cranberry and cherry flavors with a bit of baking spice and some cedar cigar box. Medium+ acid, medium tannin. Dry finish. Very nice pinot and paired perfectly with a roasted butternut squash and sausage dish.

  Double-decanted back into the bottle. Nose is very earthy with dusty white pepper notes. Palate is light bodied and very vegetal with nice acidity and medium finish. Paired ok with Asian-influenced duck breast, maybe just a bit too funky and not quite fruity enough to be a great pairing. Still enjoyable though.
