From the rest of a coravin’d bottle. Aromas of cherry, mushroom, strawberry, brown sugar and cinnamon. Flavors of cherry, cola, sassafras, brown sugar and hint of earth. Ends with a 25-30 second finish with cherry cola notes. For $40 this is a really good value.
From the Coravin and let sit in the glass for 2 hours. Aromas of cherry, brown sugar, rhubarb, strawberry and a hint of earth. Flavors of strawberry, cherry, hint of cola, mushroom and earth. Ends with a nice finish of 30+ seconds with black cherry and earth notes. For $40 this is a steal. Might need to go back and get a few more.
This bottle not quite as good as past ones. Is it fading now, or just a less than ideal bottle? I did have one out of this case that was badly corked. This isn't corked at all, just not as strong fruited as prior bottles. Just a touch of stewedness, to the fruit. Does it taste older because it is, or because this bottle was coravined previously? I guess the next bottle in a few months will tell the tale??? Still nice, just not 'wow' as before.

Decanted for about an hour. Cab lovers pinot ... unmistakably pinot, but a deep, dark, brooding pinot. Excellent.
