This second (and last) bottle from auction was similar to the first, i.e. in good shape and showing some maturity. Not a fantastic Pinot at this stage, but interesting and enjoyable. Perhaps a little too much on the riper side of the spectrum for this amount of aging, as it came across as a little candied. Good, but nothing to gush about.

Recent auction purchase (1st of 2 bottles). In a nice spot, with mature ripe spectrum OR Pinot-osity. Some supporting oak that complemented the fruit very well. Medium acidity played nice as well. My only complaint is the freaking gigantic, heavy bottle doesn't fit well in my wine fridge, with the punt going up a full 3 inches. Ridiculous and a waste of natural resources.

Drank at with fall salmon, purred cauliflower, and salad. Decanted for 1-2 hours. Great nose on opening which continued. Great balance and moderate fruit with a cherry dominance. Really, really good. Now may be its prime. Only one bottle left.

This bottle opened up after an hour in decanter, had great fruit and coated entire mouth. Really a great bottle
