After opening this bottle, I realized that this was the same wine that I drank on Christmas last year. Fickle pinot...while still probably past its prime, the wine is drinking better this year than last. Lots of leather and tobacco notes with some dark cherry hints.

Eight years old and going strong. Not great, but very good. Short finish, but a good nose. A palate of strawberries and red fruit. Should have another 5 years.

This wine is holding up well, but is a little past its prime. Still bright in color with bright fruit. Nice soft style.

A bit past its prime. Great nose, and the forward fruit was good. Lacked a back palette. The wine was not flawed, just cellared too long.
