  Unusually delightful and interesting. The note below comparing it to a handful of Jelly Bellys captures the unique experience of this wine. Its flavors evolve with air and temperature, and as it sits on the tongue. Raspberry, cherry, orange, cedar and spice. Good fruit with nice balance from acid, stems and tannins. Fresh for a 2014 both in terms of aging and the hot vintage.

  From 375. Drinking really nicely right now. No detailed note because I’m headed out. Consistent with previous notes … but better!

  Dark, balanced, full bodied, nice finish. Classy wine - popular with our group.

  Drank over 2 days. Diam 30 cork....interesting.
  
  This wine is ultra focused and poised yet there is a playfulness that cannot be understated. The aromatics are dialed in. It's like taking a handful of Jelly Belly's and firing them back in one shot. Herbs, white pepper, currant, raspberry, cherry, graphite, spice. I could take out the WSET lexicon and pick off 20 different fruits. Crazy. Color wise,slightly lighter on the edges but the core is in great shape.
  
  Zero bitterness on the finish. There's a fun smokiness to this wine and I absolutely detest smoky Pinots. Can't stand them! This rocks! Soooooo complex. Thank you sir, I'll have another.

  Fantastic btl, but should have waited longer. On the nose: briary strawberry, clear stem inclusion, sexy vanilla and asian spice. On the palate, good acidity, szechuan peppercorn, raspberry, strawberry. Very soft, evanescent tannin on the slightly bitter finish.
