Poured from bottle. Auction purchase of well stored wines. Cork good. Slight chalkiness at first. Then, with twenty minutes in glass, it was lovely. Bright fruit, minerals and all well integrated, balanced and tasty. Served after a friends 90 DRC Echezeaux and compared well. This 23 year old Oregon Pinot has great legs.

Not decanted. Mature brick-red color, transparent at ~1" depth. Beety nose with hints of tea, damp wood and fruit. Full palate with plenty of fruit but no more tannin to speak of. Stunning long (20+seconds) finish. This wine was a revelation. The vintage was not a good but this wine was a dead-ringer for a Nuits from a vintage like 1993. This had been in my cellar, and forgotten, since release.

Cork a bit dodgy. Came out clean. Nose of beetroot. Nice clarity. Savory old Pinot.
