Nose is lots of earth and some mushroom. Heavy front for a Pinot. The fruits are muddled together and then a tart, earthy middle and lingering acidic finish. This wine will last a bunch more years.

Decanted for about an hour. First few glasses had lots of Pinot funk plus something else - tar maybe. This extra smell disappeared after another hour. On the palate - really smooth, even sweet, first taste, great taste of berries. Long finish, with some tannins. Very nice wine.

I had bought several bottles of this vintage when it came out and wasn't that impressed. came across the last bottle rummaging through the cellar and it has improved significantly. fruit forward in style but enough acidity to not be off kilter.

(Morgan Pinot Noir Twelve Clones) Very pale rose pink color; light rose and red fruit nose; tasty, somewhat spicy, well oaked, with some bramble on medium juicy finish

Over the hill. Color was off and no trace of fruit.

Solid,
Meaty and fragrant up front, but a bit thin on the finish...otherwise a higher score could be had.
