  Classice aged Pinot. Very light brick color, slightly barnyard upon P&P, quickly became floral/fruity. Silky on the tongue w/a long finish. Alas, my last bottle, but it was memorable.

  no score given as this wine continues to confuse me. There is a hint of something wrong, like it is off or spoiled or something, which is there sometimes and sometimes not. It is a good funk and a bad funk at the same time. Good flavor and the tannins are pretty much fully integrated, as this is smooth to the taste, but again, the funk is dominant, and I just can't figure out if I really like it or don't like it at all. definitely one to try and see for your self.

  Very interesting bottle of wine, especially taking into account the vintage. First night a very minerally wine, with more red fruits, and some decent tannin strcuture, but seeming to be integrating. Nose is intoxicating, with a hint of dirt and fruit and mineral and a bit of funk that is just too appealing to me. mouthfeel is very nice, but a little thin on day 1. finish seems a bit astringent, but can't tell if this is the tannins or just the base of the wine that will not change. 87-88 day 1. Had the last glass day 2 and this baby has put on weight and fleshed out. The red fruits have turned into plum, mixed with a hint of dirt and some mineral smell/taste to it and the finish has defininately picked up. Much better wine on day 2. 90 points. A very nice wine and I will try and hold off on the last two bottles for a year or two to see where they go.
