I bought this Jeroboam (Double Magnum) directly from winery in 2016, and finally found an occasion to uncork it. The wine was drinking beautifully, and at its prime.
Orangey rim, dark ruby center with hint of bricks. The nose and palate were Burgundian with plenty of tertiary aromas and flavors. Redcurrant, black berries, farmyard, mushroom, and tobacco. Medium-high acidity, medium alcohol, and medium finish. There was not too much complexity and mid-palate was a little soft, but the silky tannin, restrained fruits, and velvety texture had made up for them.
Most important of all, there was always jubilation when drinking a super large bottle with good friends and family.
I believe this Jeroboam could be cellared for another 3-5 years but wouldn't improve much more than the current prime condition.

Surprisingly good, haven't had a good BC pinot in a while. Good on the nose, palate has good fruits both dark and red, savoury, a hint of smoke, fine tannin, med body, med finish. < 30 mins decant, so I think it's definitely open for business, can probably cellar for 3 years?

Very Burgundian. Funky nose with mocha notes. Fruit is current/cranberry. Full of acid. Elegant finish. Drinking well and will keep

Medium pale ruby, meaty, earthy funky nose. Palate has tea and rootsy red fruit - very Burgundian. I quite liked this.
