  This is beautiful, elegant, lush, ripe but it lacks some depth and definitely destintive character.
  
  The fruits are; blackberries, sweet & sour, dark cherries, black raspberries, blueberries, dry cranberries, strawberries and creamy raspberries. Mixed mid/dark, berry cola, fruit tea, light, dry, crushed rocks & top soils, very soft spice and baking spices, (some caramel notes, dry herbs, moist clay, dry tobacco & leather as it opens up after three plus hours) dark, rich soil with dry leaves, withering & fresh, dark, red, blue & purple flowers, excellent acidity and a nicely balanced & polished finish.
  
  If you are having this now-ish, I would give it a three hour decant for it to better reveal itself. Still has another eight or more good years of drinking properly stored.

  Spectacular old world style Pinot Noir. Plenty of raspberry and cherry on the palate. Some light, secondary herbal notes. Medium bodied with light acidity.

  This is broad shouldered, very structured and quite rich. Built to last. Similar in style to Peter Michael. Red and black fruit. The 15.3% alcohol protrudes unpleasantly. Medium tannin and acidity. Long finish, straightforward. Drinking now, perhaps better in another 10.

  My first aged Aubert Pinot. In youth these are big and elegantly extracted. Time has only concentrated and refined, like a well executed reduction.
