Brought to the Denver Wine group Pinot tasting. This was the WotN for my taste preference but a step down from my previous bottle. Decanted for an hour, put back in the bottle then opened again after an hour or two. This had the best nose of the night, with pine (I'll refrain from using turpentine) and spice. Good structure with some cherry fruit and a bit of sappiness. This continued to drink consistently throughout the evening while most of the others faded a bit, losing some structure.

Denver Wine Group Round 3 (Max's House): Courtesy of Chip, enjoyed next to the 2013. Less red fruited than the 2013. Didn't seem to be drinking as well now. Was decanted for 1 hour before tasting which likely affected the comparison. Preferred the 13.

Bright red fruit, raspberry. Low to medium body with great structure. Truly enjoyed this bottle.
