  Cherry and vanilla come through. 2 hour decant. Don’t hold much longer.

  A very nice pinot with spice and a bit of cola. Dark cherry fruited. Lively finish.

  Rich cherry, almost macerated and perhaps overripe. Some cardamom and spice, with hints of vanilla and a whiff of oak. Drinking nicely now though perhaps powerful fruit could diminish with time for better balance.

  Deep red. Dark fruits - ripe cherry, blackberry. Some mild spice and hints of vanilla. Well balanced. Seems right to drink now or next couple of years.
  
  Update: Still strong on day 2 (stored in split), fruit notes a bit drier but nice warm spice and hints of chocolate emerge.
