What a strange bottle of wine! Decanted off minimal sediment for 30' and followed for another hour. The nose is subtle and not "off". Bright red fruit and some spice on the palate. No signs of age or development. A pleasant Tuesday night grocery store Pinot and whoever had a hand in this should be horrified at $77!! The last 5 notes read about the same...

Bitter and unbalanced, with little fruit, but few interesting secondary or tertiary flavors either. Perfectly stored, so that's not the issue. Drink up or pour out.

We had saved this wine for years waiting for perfection. I think we may have blown right through it, sadly. There was no real complexity or notable finish on this wine. We were very disappointed having cellared it in ideal conditions. If this is indicative of all A.S. wines then we will start drinking all of their wines early and probably not buying any more. Given the $ price of this it is a bust.

This vintage is declining. Wine is watered down. Drink up! Won’t get better.
