Last tasted back in the summer of 2012, this wine continues to drink nicely, but perhaps without the intensity of earlier years. Flowers, strawberry and cola on the nose, on the palate it's cola, savory and more berries with a hint of clove. Light and still nicely balanced with a fine lifting finish.
It's probably well past prime but it's held together well and is still a pleasure to drink.

Good Wine with a Boring Super Bowl (Chez Kailin - Northbrook IL): Social walk-around tasting, brief note. Very ripe red cherry on nose and palate with sweet baking spice and background cherry cola. Nicely fresh. Good+ weight. Slightly sweeter finish than I would prefer.

Still quite a bit of fruit on the palate. Drinking well but a bit less interesting than I'd like. Can go longer.

A light and elegant pinot with notes of raspberries, red cherries, and strawberries. Drinking well now.

This was ok. Not my favorite style of WS. A bit flabby and unstructured with a decent, but not great, nose.
