  drinking nicely enough, if a bit more subdued on the palate and lacking the energy of a bottle a year and a half ago. If this bottle is representative, I don't see it getting better, nor is it anywhere near falling apart.

  Medium ruby, barely hinting towards purple. Aromas of farmyard funk, mushrooms, earth, tobacco, cherry, pomegranate, lemon, and orange. Medium body, medium (+) acid and finish, with flavors of cherry, pomegranate, lemon, and minerals. Solid, nice pinot, in spite of the silly name.

  Medium ruby in color. Full, forward & fragrant nose of ripe fruit aromas of cherries, strawberries & blueberries with overtones of earthy/dusty & spice notes, minerals & a slight touch of oak/vanilla in the background. Medium bodied with a good concentration of balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of red cherries, strawberries & blueberries with spices, minerals & a touch of vanilla. Lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present & appears to be close to or at its peak of development.

  What a difference a different bottle (or half a year) make. This bottle, while restrained, did not lack for flavor with an expressive nose lingering if subtle finish. It continued to open up for a few hours while open.
