  This opened up over time and shows as a dark and concentrated pinot, akin to some nicer RRV pinots. Varied notes of fig, clove and mushroom. Maybe too young?

  Tasted Oct 21. Nose: earth-dominated scent, deep mushroom, cherry
  Tasting: smooth onset, strawberries, slowly evolving into juicy climax - finished off with nice cherry sting that keeps giving and giving. Mushrooms and some vanilla towards finish. Long aftertaste of strawberries and cherries. Medium-bodied, larger wine than some of its neighbours. Simply pleasant, although not as complex as I had expected before drinking it. 90p

  Dekantert. Igjen ikke forøyd med PN fra Oregon. Eller USA. De er litt likegyldige på dette plan, jeg snakker prismessig plan. Som med burgund må det bruket mere penger om det skal snake mer enn tilfredstillende. Samme dag 3. Oh well.

  Ripe dark fruit, vanilla, black tea with a strong shot of acidity and tannins that are just now starting to balance. This is definitely on the bold side of WV pinot but not just a dr pepper bomb. There is a lot to explore and the finish is very long. Quite enjoyable and should continue to improve as the vines age.

  Ripe fruit, leather, mushroom, earth. powdery elevated tannins need time to resolve. Wonder about whether it will be too simple with age as fruit is already understated. At winery with Katie.
