Such an explosive nose on this wine, endless aromas of black cherries, raspberries, roses, crushed stones. Quite suprising how rich the fruit is in this wine at age 15. Savory earth driven flavors with supporting acidity and supple tannins. Complexity you will only experience in Pinot at this price point. These 2002 Oregon Pinots have been gorgeous, I wish I had aged more.

pretty good. Opened out 88-89 points maybe. Fell apart night 2 even though I had removed the air. Soft and still some fruits. Some good development - not as much as a burg' as this started with more fruit and sugar. But still good

pretty good. Not as good as I'd hoped at this age. Decent complexity for sure. Some old pinot notes. Fruits had calmed down a lot. Some smoke maybe, some earthiness. Not as much as Burg at a similar age maybe. A very good effort.
