So developed you worry that another 6 months would kill it, but right now it’s really stunning, enough fruit to keep things bright but so much development. Drink as soon as you can, no regrets.

There's a slight bit of volatility on the nose, giving this a touch of balsamic, but the overall fruit profile here is very pretty. It's a light wine for sure, without too much overall complexity on the nose or palate, but it's a drinkable and pleasant pinot. There's a nice amount of fairly backwards tannins here. Nonetheless, I'm inclined to drink these up soon -- there's not enough complexity and heft here for much more aging.

Nice little burg, had around 5 bottles and depending on the night it has hit me as very red fruited and a little thin or fairly ripe with good acidity. This is my second night on this bottle and it has definitely filled out overnight, the fruit strikes me somewhere between a very ripe raspberry and tart wild blueberries with a nice hit of dirt and good lift with a floral aspect to the nose

P&p. Ready to go right away but best with 2+ hours of air in the bottle; not shut down. Consistent with the notes from 2 1/2 years ago and doesn't seem to have changed much in that time. Nice reddish fruit and mushroom combo, lightly floral, light in weight but with some grippy tannic richness. Juicy, with plenty of acidity. Pretty, tasty/moreish, good value, good stuff. Seems like drink or hold.

P&p; enjoyable right from the bottle, with pretty aromas of red fruit, flowers, and mushroom/forest floor. Similar on the palate - crunchy lean cranberryish fruit with terrific acidity and some earthy/woodsy/mushroom nuance. With an hour+ of air in the bottle it's getting richer and more cherry-fruited, and at two hours it has gained still more substance while staying fresh/juicy and almost weightless. Some grippy young tannins; they work well, but seem to cut off the finish. In any case, good stuff and a fine value.
