Smooth and easy. Some of the tasters found it "sweet" but most liked the richness. More dark cherry than berry with mild cola and earthiness. Ready to drink. 89++ (but just a tad bit sligh of the 90 universe).

Tasted after 30 minutes of air. Dark cherries. Stewed fruits. Floral lift with balancing crunch. Some spice. Great balance. Plenty of verve and life. No rush on these. Mark is the master with Shea.
Still holding great on day 2.

The 2014 pinots do seem to be evolving out of the annoying stewed fruit thing. It's still there, but much less prominent, and thus much less annoying. This is actually pretty good now. Looking forward to trying a few others (no hurry, though...).

Great bottle. Still has a lot of life in it. Opened and drank over four hours. I look forward to the next one.
