This was brought by a friend for an impromptu BBQ. Perfectly mature and drinking gloriously. It is fairly deep and dark ruby/garnet but slightly translucent. It is so rounded in your mouth and on the nose with rich red fruit and some sous bois and chocolate on the finish. It has moderate acidity but seems quite rich and chewy. Lovely. Don’t think it will improve from here but properly stored it should last a little while longer.

Light ruby red with rich dark cherry aromas and flavors. On the palate, it was full bodied, solid tannins and rich cherry flavors with a nice clean after taste.

Unfortunately this wine is no longer drinkable. I had two bottles hidden in the back of the cellar.

Vibrant if over vibrant Pinot fruit
But all freshness is gone
Nothing here to entice and almost nothing to enjoy
