Delicious. Last time I thought it was fading but this wine is showing plenty of fruit, wonderfully balanced structure, and plenty of development. Rich iron core, nice acidity, fine grained tannins. Drink or Hold.

The brownish garnet coloring gave me a bit of a worry thinking it might be over the hill but the mushroomy, forest floor, dried flowers aromas were really nice. It’s pretty much fruit deprived yet underneath some bitter leafy greens are remnants of dark cherry. Definitly a strong ferrite core with extremely fined grained tannic finish. Good balance, decent acidity. Not a wow wine but nice expression of pinot

Mushroomy, earthy, with plenty of dark cherry fruit, old attic dusty tannins, and dried flowers galore. This still has plenty of structure.
