Decanted. Let bottle stand up for a while (quite a lot of fine sediment). Opened up nicely in 1 hr. Nose: very good 8/10. Forest floor, hints of vanilla, fig newton. Palate: 9/10. Medium body. Polished, elegant. Cherry. Balanced acidity, tannin, and sweetness. Finish: 8/10. Price: 10/10 ($70, 2022). Enjoyment: 10/10. So good now. Would buy again: Solid yes. Last of 3 bottles.

Very ready, trending to over-ripe. Full bodied with distinctive black cherry on the palate. Drink soon.

This is ready now. Depth of fruit and intense cherry on the palate. Good acidity, and can stand up to hearty dishes.

Rich sweet black cherry. High alcohol and at the more assertive end of the pinot spectrum. Delicious.
