This wine is past its peak, but still tasting well. It has lost much of the up front fruit which is replaced with more earth, mushroom and pepper. The finish is long and spicy inviting one to take another sip.

This pinot is showing really nicely tonight, without the slightest hit of its 8yr age. Plums, dried fruits, cranberries and spice. Definately not from a cool region, but very well done.

Dry nose of rose pedals, licorice, cranberry, blood and fish stock?, dusty and tannic palate with hints of creamy fruit balanced by strong acidity and a medium finish

Beautiful plum and mature pinot flavors...but fell off the second day, so consume the day it is opened.

Gave this a hour in the glass and it was excellent. Dense but dry nose of bing cherries and earth, deep, musty and fruity body and long, crisp finish.
