Wonderful showing. Still on it's primary fruit, the Pinot nerve is hit big time, loving it. Grounded sweetness, strawberries, smal hints of sous bois; drinking great, but no hurry at all.

Drinking very, very well now. Lovely balance of red and blue fruits, spice, tannin and acid. Probably at its peak I feel, but in no danger of fading any time soon.

This is tasty; ripe showing the warmth of the vintage, but maintains balance and actually seems to freshen in the glass over time; initially dark cherry, spice, some loamy earth, and floral notes; with air the cherry brightens, adds some red currant, and the spice deepens. The palate is certainly on the riper end, but stops just shy of being hot and maintains balance. I think this will actually continue to improve with age and I'll try to hold my other bottle for several years to see.

Deep red, ripe red fruits and licorice perfumed nose. The acidity provides a good lift and structure to sweet raspberries flavors. Power and finesse with a long finish and harmonious tannins.

Some minor cork leakage due to some cork expansion/contraction but still drinking well.
