This is good, a bit deeper, broader, and refined than when I had it in 2020. More spice, darker fruit on the nose. Really polished professional mouthfeel, seamless structure and beautiful balance. Brisk acid brings the levity needed to elevate the otherwise nicely saturated fruit, spice, and baking flavors. Lots of life and further evolution left in this one.

A velvety smooth Pinot Noir. Full bodied but perfectly balanced. Cherry and Fruit notes at the front. Vanilla and Caramel round out the back. One of my favorite Pinot Noirs.

An explosive nose offers bold cherry and dark plum that is lifted by raspberry and blood orange. There's a strong vanilla barrel note in the background. Full bodied with serious density and bright, juicy acid, this strikes a substantive but refined structure. The flavor profile includes plum compote, cherry sauce, red and black currant, mulled spice and tangerine. There's a small under currant of moist earth minerality. Appealing now, Ia solid two to three years in the bottle should allow the wine develop its promise of more depth.

Decanted for 30 minutes. Full-bodied pinot with lots of red fruit, some spice, moderate plus tannins.

Really drinking well now, refined and pure, with a gorgeous palate and finish. One of Walt's best IMO.
