Very nice Pinot. Enjoyed at with Lamb loin at Downey's. Rich and deep with black cherries and blue fruits on the nose with a halo of florality. The opulent palate had wild bramble blackberries and a core of spice. A great example of the Big 2004 vintage but in this case the alcohol is certainly under control.

Big, but nice and balanced fruit. Developed a candied aspect which was not artificial (so not unpleasant), but also not entirely welcome. Loose structure. Nice aromatics of spice and green tea and a very good texture on the finish. New World in the best sense of the word.

Still wonderfully full, aromatic and balanced, with just enough tannin for support. Smooth with just a touch of acidity.
