  Enjoyed with Micah and Jess. Opened after 30 min, mushroom palate. Not totally together but enjoyed an old thing.

  Stood up for five days. Three hour slow oxidation before being taken to a restaurant. Medium ruby fading to a pale garnet outer edge. A rather conflicting nose with some off-putting heat and carbonic notes coupled with some slightly more pleasing scents of strawberries, raspberries, cranberies without any real purity to the fruit. Lilacs, violets, potting soil, and turned earth provide additional notes. Incredibly youthful palate mirroring the fruit profile detected on the nose with little evidence of any development towards secondary characteristics. Structurally speaking the wine is still exceptionally tight. If I had a second bottle - which I don’t - I wouldn’t open it for another decade.

  Deep ruby almost garnet color slight orange in the rim. Nose of earth and wet leaves, cassis and a hint of spice. Medium body high acidity. Palate was rather rich for a Pinot noir. Subdued fruit of plum and black currant slight truffle overtones finishing with silky dark chocolate. Very surprising richness more like a Rhône than a burgundy.

  Barely coming around. Still extraordinarily tight. There's a good wine in there somewhere, but maybe another 5 (+?) years away.

  Nose a little muted with some funk. Palate has more acidity than expected, leather, licorice, black cherry. Grew on me but it's a little disjointed. Mature for sure.
