  Delicious. Holding its own. Plenty of fruit still there.

  Wow. I love this wine. No alcohol heat. Very complex nose of black and red fruit and a little Pinot funk. Proper storage pays off. Drinking very well in 2013. A steal for $28. Wish I had a case or more.

  Better than last time we had this. It is settling down a little. Somewhat earthy, a little woody, and I agree with other tasters that there are some cola flavors and some vanilla (although that is
  pretty muted).

  This wine is still coming on a little strong. Maybe in a few more years it will settle down and integrate. Kind if disjointed and clunky, and the alcohol is a little hot. That said, it's not unenjoyable, and it definitely has a fungal, earthy things that says this is a real Pinot. A lot of sweet oak at first but that has gone away but still the alcohol and the general power of this wine are a little too much -- at least for now.
