  Better than the bottle I had last year and much better than the CS from Mitolo that we drank alongside. I opened, the cork broke so I decanted through a vinturi. The nose was all fruit. The palate was dark berries, bramble, a touch of maple and spice. The finish was moderate to long.

  I found a 6 pack of this wine in my storage and realized it had been there for over 10 years. I retrieved it and gave a couple of bottles to my younger associates to try. My wife is always complaining that I always pour pinot noir when we have salmon so I decided to pop the cork on this one so there would be a difference and make her happy. Well the cork broke so I decanted it through a vinturi and let it sit for a couple of hours. The nose was all fruit. The palate was dark berries, bramble, a touch of maple and spice. The finish was moderate to long but a little on the thin side. I cannot see any upside to this wine. Might have been better 6 years ago but still is a decent wine. but I wouldn't keep them more than another year. or two.

  Bright, jammy, with some developed complexity. Different, but good.

  Nose was very off-putting. It opened up after a day, but it was nothing special. I don't remember how much we spent on it but it wasn't worth cellaring for 11 years.
