  Not showing well at all. Popped and poured from the bottle, consumed over 4 hours. Sadly, I was stuck with a rotting vegetable funk, super reductive, no fruit or any other typical pinot flavors. Bummer, I heard great things about this bottling- chalking this off to bottle variance.

  Served alongside Talley's more expensive flagship pinot, the Rosemary's. Surprisingly, this is going to be the longer-lived wine, there's actually some youthfulness in the fruit and more vivid acidity. Where I'd call it on the former at 2020, I'd happily leave these to 2023 or more.

  Subsequent notes on this wine. Medium garnet in color with slight clearing at the edges. Forward & attractive nose of ripe fruits aromas of red cherries, blueberries & plums with overtones of floral notes of violets & spices, mocha, earthy/dusty, cherry-cola, truffles, minerals, smoky, vanilla and a slight hint of sous-bois in the background. Medium bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of tart cherries, sweet blueberries & red plums, with earthy, mushrooms, Asian spices, mocha, minerals and just a touch of vanilla. Smooth lingering finish. Definitely at its peak of development but even at 12 years of age, it may hold for a few more years if cellared properly.

  PNP. Cork perfect. Medium garnet w bricking edges. Nose w cola five spice and a whiff of etoh. Swishing shows tannin and acid structure almost tingly in the mouth. Sipping this shows med weight and length with dark fruit and great polish and mouthfeel. Really superb.
