This is definitely past its prime drinking window, but pleasant nonetheless. Most of the berry fruit has faded, with the elements more mushroom and unami at this point. Drink now

Took a 3 liter bottle for a lake weekend. We were very impressed with the quality of this wine, as it opened beautifully. While the fruit notes had started to wane, they were still there and the secondary earth notes were becoming more evident and nice. Still plenty of life left in this wine; sure the 3 L. bottle had something to do with that as well. My only disappointment was the the restaurant we took it to did not have a decanter of any size, so it opened very slowly.

Very nice pinot that responded to a little age pretty well. Black Raspberry, Sour Cherries and some earthy, stone elements that gave the wine some extra dimentions. Slight herbal flavors on the finish.

Still holding its own. PnP at restaurant-fruit, tannins all there. Got better as dinner went along.
