  I was so impressed with the Monterey version (same year - from a few nights ago) that I decided to grab the Russian River Valley offering (2014). Big spicy dark fruit (a la black cherry) with good acidity and a punch of strawberry and rhubarb - I even decided to put a little chill on this one and it really got that red fruit to pop, plus it seemed to add a little tobacco into the mix ... as it opens the acidity kept everything in balance and there was just hint of white pepper which settled nicely onto the finish.

  This has deteriorated from the first time I drank it in 2017. Leads me to believe it’s last its prime.

  Decanted for 1 hour.
  On the nose I got strawberries and cherries.
  On the palate I got cherries,a lot of red fruit. Some very slick oak. Really fine tannins and at first a lot of acidity but that mellowed through out the night. Medium finish.

  Grand Cru Pinot (Harbour 220/L15 131 Macquarie Street): Ironically it's quite creamy on the nose but with stalks and spice as well as black hued fruits. Rich, juicy, creamy, blackberry, spice, slight vanilla, bit of alcohol warmth that is non-intrusive and surprisingly fine tannins. Bit of a beast regardless.
