Just like when I last had this two years ago, there's an oxidative pong on the nose. In the glass it's fungal, with some depth. There's some tannin. It finishes short. A mix of pluses and minuses.

Deep ruby, medium plus nose of cranberry, black cherry, raspberry, spice, and hints of bay, bright red fruit on the attack followed by tart berry fruit, earth, medium acidity, medium tannins with elevated alcohol levels, finishes bright, and–still–pretty primary fruit, mineral streaks, powdery tannins and lingering chalky, herbaceous flavors

Good rich Pinot fruits on the nose though little develoment and quite a strong note of oak on the finish. Decent drinking but I hoped for more. If I had more bottles I would probably keep them for another five years before broaching again.

A bit of oxidative whiff, rather grippy, some enjoyable undergrowthy pinot fruit underneath the surly exterior.

plenty of fruit; a bit of earth; Oak is less prominent than i see from earlier notes. Richer and riper than expected; though still seems young.
