  On opening the wine was closed in. There was no mid pallet but the presence of fruit and tannin was good. The wine was filtered and left for 24 hours. These tasting notes apply to the second tasting after the wine rested. The wine is rich and silky. Hints of plum, coffee and cola. A touch of black pepper is evident. The wine is very dark and the tannins are soft. The mid pallet is well presented. A lovely old Pinot Noir approaching its 30th birthday.

  Balanced with smooth and soft integration; earthy with good texture; nice acidity; cola with some coffee notes.

  Best out of 3. Lighter in texture and less developed than prior bottles. Still VERY mineral. There's a rusty nails flavor that is delicious. This drank like 20 year old Nuit Saint Georges. Enough said.

  Passed its peak but this bottle is more drinkable. Still some overripeness but oak is less noticeable. Some dark dried fruits. Acid is medium. Texture is silky. Finish is of mid length. Good amount of sediment, standing in advance and decanting is recommended.
