Opened and decanted an hour ahead of pan fried butter sole with herbs and spices. Cloudy, garnet-crimson color. The nose brings intense cherry menthol, cherry blossoms, red lavender, fall leaves, and potpourri. The palate is medium, round, juicy, and supple, bringing a good core of blackberries, blueberries, and rhubarb followed by high-toned red cherry and pomegranate notes, black tea, wood smoke, cloves, and sweet strawberries into a refined finish. This is a nicely integrated and well-balanced wine, blending new and old world styles. Drink 2023-2028. Technical score: 93. Enjoyment score: 93.

Holiday party so no detailed notes. Enjoyable Russian River Valley pinot noir, but a bit flat compared to a bottle consumed in 2018.

Maybe the coravin didn't hold up. Or maybe the wine has aged too much. Didn't enjoy it as much as previously.
