  This is a fantastic young wine. Nose leads with an almost liqueur-like black cherry, red apple skin, allspice, and finally a twiggy/wet leaves note. Palate has so much concentration and balance: black cherry, maybe some raspberry with an earthy forest edge, subtle and integrated oak treatment, good acidity. I’m sure this will drink nicely for its entire lifetime, but it’s really asking for 5+ years in the cellar. Lucky you to have a bottle around 2029-2033.

  C liked this better than I did. Pretty earthy at first, maybe a little reduction? Left on the counter overnight with the cork out and was much better the next day. Red fruit to start but finished just a little earthy and bitter for me. I'd drink again but not sure I'll seek out.

  Barnyard, Soil, and Red Fruits on the Palate - it smells delicious and you can tell that you are in for a very good Pinot Noir. Cherry, Mushrooms, "Classic" Pinot Noir Barnyard and Soil on the palate. There is a nice Salinity to this Wine and there are still a few Unresolved Tannins. 5-6 seconds finish that makes you want to have more.
  
  My favorite Pinot Noir Pairing is fried mushrooms with salt and pepper.

  Lovely, highly aromatic, and elegant tea leaf, black cherry, raspberry, strawberry, and hints of smoke aromas all come through nicely on the balanced, light-to-medium bodied palate. It has fresh, juicy acids and grippy tannins that should soften in a few years. Excellent length on the finish.
