  brick red - not much oxidation evident - nose of stewed over-ripe fruit - no complexity - good acid-fruit balance - tannins fairly resolved - medium long finish - my problem with this wine is that I would never pick this to be a pinot noir - cherry flavors were non-existant, let alone any complexity - a straightforward fruity red wine that has held up well with age, but not one I would ever put in a pinot noir tasting!

  A beautiful wine. I was surprised at the life in this wine. Tannins are resolved but, no signs of age. Big fruit. Cherries. Smooth. Still have three more. No rush to consume.

  Big, beautiful earthy nose with cedar notes. Some lovely graphite and concentrated cherry on the palate. This wine is still kickin' after all these years! If you have a bottle... It's ready!

  Lots of tart fruit, but I felt like this wine had started to lose its structure. I'm sure it was a fine pour in its day but it's on the decline now.

  Red cherry, pepper, spice, earth flavors, nicely balanced and elegant.
