  Very good, not excellent. Dark fruit with a reductive, earthy aroma, still somewhat tight after a couple of hours in the decanter. Full bodied, blackberry, vanilla, relatively dense with fine texture. Plenty of acidity. Well resolved tannins, some oak tannin/flavor on the finish.
  
  Overall, some resolution and development with age, though denser than I prefer in Pinot. Don't think this is getting better, though should hold for several years.

  Nice, expressive, medium to darker fruited nose. Some red berry but mostly black cherry on the palate with a wealth of baking spice. Drinking quite well now but with life ahead. We open end drank 2/3rds of the bottle on Saturday night with some Asian fusion cuisine. Finished the bottle at lunch the next day, where the wine was still very much alive, with pesto salmon. Delicious both times.

  Immediately get some ripe red fruit, baking spices like nutmeg, forrest floor, wet wood. The palate has silky and somewhat chalky tannins with acidity that hits the putter rims of the mouth. The baking spices are present, but with a bit less ripe red fruit. Maybe some white pepper creeps in towards the end. This is a good showing with a bit more time, but why wait. Doesn’t need a long decant.

  Starting to reach its full potential. More integrated on the palate, black raspberry, sage, spice. Dense yet silky, with sneaky structure. Still fairly tight on the nose, but showing dark fruit and spice. Unlikely to capture the high toned and mushroomy aromatics, yet should peak impressively in the next few years.
