I opened thia with trepidation having read early notes suggesting I had left this 15 years too long. I was pleasantly surprised, still nice acid, silky integrated tannin and still fruit, tertiary pinot characteristics showing, but well balanced and to my pallet excellent. I do like old Burgundy so read this with that caveat.

Medium garnet core with medium brick red rim. Medium + intense nose with red fruit, vanilla forest floor and a whiff of farmyard. On the palate, medium/medium + acidity, medium intense red cherry fruit with sous bois and savoury notes on a good length finish. Good, niecly balanced wine, drinking well now.
