A Night of Rochioli (Mostly West Block) (Classic Dallas): Very shy aromas and difficult to pick up much. Nice, fresh cherry fruit on an elegant palate. Freshest of the wines from 1999- 2002.

Lean.
The wine looks crimson colored. The legs are medium. There is moderate sediment in the bottle. It smells like red currant. It tastes like red currant. The body is light. The wine has flabby texture. The wine finishes short. The wine has low acidity.

Crimson in color with some bricking at the edge of the glass. 14.2% ABV. Gorgeous nose of black fruits, baking spice, cloves and minerals. Light in body with perfect acidity. Black cherry, cranberry, sassafras and spice on the palate. The finish is seamless, plush and incredibly long. Great showing from the top wines in the Rochioli portfolio. It's only April but this may be the best domestic Pinot Noir I drink this year. This wine still has some life left in it. Drink over the next 1-3 years.
