  Past its prime. Aroma was 100% prune juice. Did not improve with decanting or letting it air out.

  This is pretty rich and creamy for a Pinot Noir. More power than delicacy here. Even the color is more concentrated than usual. You can't see your two fingers through the glass. The nose has a spicy, sandalwood backed up with roses and black cherry, with plenty of oak. Has that black earth flavor surrounding the black cherry and red raspberry fruit. Surprising lingering tannins. Noticeable 14.2% alcohol is a little hot towards the back of the palate. Still a little oaky. Pretty young for a 6 year old wine. Love that graphite, mineral lead pencil tinge to the black fruit on the finish.

  Still drinking very well and showing great acidity and liveliness. Dry cherry and dry hay flavors on the medium body. Long dry finish. A very nice food wine.

  Last bottle. Still good. See prior notes. Not sure how long it will last though. I would drink up if you have any more bottles.
