Nose: quite reticent, even after two hours in the decanter. Dark cherry, plum, cola wet soil and graphite. The body is full with fully integrated polished, lush tannins that is evidence of the warm vintage. The acid finds a nice stride but is secondary. Concentration is a big lacking here, but the flavors include slightly tart cherries, blood orange, sassafras bark, and mild black pepper. It finishes a bit tart. Nice profile but the thin concentration really holds it back. A bit disappointing.

A peg off previous bottles. Probably on the downslope. Still, a well balanced delicious pinot.

Less intensity than I remember from the last bottle. Still, well balanced with good fruit and acidity. Worked well with a pork dinner with M&P.
