Decent fruit, despite its age. Probably won't last. Expected much worse. Bricking around the edges, but lively deep color. Some tannins hanging around. An hour later, it is still holding up reasonably well.

Not as bad as some other reviews made it seem. It opened after an hour or so and had a slight tannic / acidic taste. Probably about done in terms of drinkability......

Drank this out of a ridel burgandy glass with it being decanted in the bottle for about 1.5 hours.
All I get is a nose of alcohol - you can smell the heat and it overwhelms the slight smell of currant. On the palate it is a little jammy without much fruit. The finish is acceptable, but does not last long. Perhaps this is past it's prime, I would not purchase this wine again or recommend this to anyone.

Great pinot. Very soft, not tannin. Aged and drinking well. Quite smooth. Not spicey.

May have been oxididized or at least that's what I'm hoping because it tasted like a cheap box wine. NR.
