Tawny red in appearance. Candied cherries on the nose and some menthol. Medium tannins (5/10) and medium bodied. Layered palate with dried cherries, a touch sour, herbs, menthol, twigs and an odd aftertaste. Medium plus bodied. Drink now if you have any.

Moderately concentrated color with lighter edges than when young. Spicy darker fruit nose and on entry. Good blend of fruit and earth on the full bodied taste with a good lasting finish. I think this is at it's zenith and from here on the earthiness will overcome the fruit. Too bad it's my last bottle

nose - nutmeg. also oak. I get a good first impression. The mouth displays red fruit with a slightly bitter finish. A bit disjointed, and less elegant than hoped for. -- Better on day #2

Clunky, but definitely has true pinot character. Very disappointing for the price.

Full bodied nose didn't open up as much but great weight and finish
