Owned this wine upon release. A cool cherry and violet nose with just a hint of wild game. Intense fruit flavors still dominate the palate, but it tastes like they are wrapped in a bacon-nori wrapper. The finish has telltale limestone minerality. Incredibly good and I would bet it has another 10+ years ahead of it.

From 375. In a great place. Nose of red fruit and spice. Expansive red fruit flavors on the palate. Great acidity. Long, satisfying finish. Likely at peak, or even slightly past. But should continue to drink well for quite some time.

Popped and poured from 375. Rust-red color. Enticing nose of red fruit, spice and earth. Big burst of flavor expands out nicely on the palate. Elegant texture. Acidity builds nicely from attack through finish. Still fairly tannic on the finish, but that doesn't detract from the long, satisfying finish. This is probably approaching peak at this point (from 375 at least).

Acquired new from winery and stored in cellar since. From 750ml. This Pinot was sublime and signing to the heavens. Spectacular Pinot.

From 375ml. This is similar to previous tastings, but not as expressive. Probably past peak.
