This is still improving and is now singing. The metallic streak about which I complained 2 years ago is no longer limiting enjoyment of the medium/full body and Pinot fruit which still had a savoury overlay enhanced by touches of ivy and earthy minerals, suave texture, lively acidity and good backbone. Very good and I wish I had more bottles.
5th of 12, opened 90 minutes, perfect cork and level, more muted and nondescript than previous sound bottles, fruit fresh and lively, so probably a phase coupled with poor food match (chicken casserole), no rush. F (17.5).

This wine has not improved as much as I hoped in my TN 5 years ago. The main bugbear is a metallic streak on the nose which was somewhat attenuated by swirling which brought up some more typically Pinot fruit. On the palate, body was medium/full and fruit had a savoury overlay enhanced by touches of ivy and earthy minerals, lively acidity and good backbone. Just very good but I was expecting more.
