Hard to believe how well this wine has held up, still cherry forward though less bright than when it was younger...cork was solid, in the glass it’s showing a little color change, though less than I expected...nose had some age to it, less perfume than when young for sure...but on the palate the fruit still leads and finishes...I really enjoy it as it’s tasting now...wish they still made’em like they used to :-))

Very nice. At 11 years old this is in a great spot. Cola, earth, red fruit, dust, and tannins are nicely integrated. Fruit was still a bit sweet, so this wasn't the best pairing with rib steak, but a delicious wine.

Earth, cherries, herbs, raspberries. Delicious, and with a nice weight to it - perfectly medium bodied. The finish is ever so slightly sweet with fruit while the tannins are resolved. Acid structure is great. Nice dose of the Carneros version of cola also.

Drinking really good. Age has integrated the wine wonderfully. This is what a pinot aged well should taste like.

This bottle was not a great as earlier bottle. Didn't get as much earth in nose or palate. Would have benefited from opening up.
