  • Opened, poured and let sit 45 min. Then: This bottle is pretty close to my 11/7 bottle. Good pinot nose; pretty decent pinot fruit, although a bit sharpish/acidic at first. The sharpish/acidic sensation stays throughout, but mellows out a bit. The pinot taste gets a little bit reductive/over-ripe by the end of the glass, but still fairly nice. Last bottle of this vintage and Alyce cuvee and not a bad way to end it.
    Day 2: Pretty much the same as Day 1, but a little mellower/subdued in comparison. Still tasty.

  • Opened, poured and let sit 1/2 hr. Then: Almost the same as my 11/7 note, minus the streak of acidity, and maybe even a bit more pinot nose/taste at first. But then flattened out fairly quickly. Still pleasant, but not that interesting.

  • Opened, poured and let sit 1/2 hr. Then: 3rd-to-ast bottle of this wine and the nose was more pinot-like than any of the others. At first, taste was even pinot-like, although a bit unbalanced with a streak of acidity. After about 1/2 hr, the acidity and the pinot taste retreated a bit and sweetish red fruit took over. Maybe it is bottle variation, but the lack of balance suggests that it is time to drink up. Still found some pleasure in this.

  • Deep garnet. No bricking. Savory nose with baking spice and dark fruits. Well balanced with a touch of brightness on the finish. Still drinking on its early mature stage. Lovely. .
