  Nice and soft. No tannines left any more. Still fruity.

  Decanted for aeration, enjoyed over 2 nights, both showing well. Pinot, as much as any grape, I think, can have a rather disparate nature about it - the nose can suggest one thing (ex funk) while the palate entirely another (silky, juicy fruits). I really enjoyed the nose on this, and while the color is a bit darker than I was expecting (ok, hoping for) it was not over-extracted or unnecessarily ripe. Aromas of mushrooms, forest floor, damp leaves, leather and dried herbs surround a core of dark cherries. On the palate, I would have guessed New Zealand if tasted blind. Well made, and very easy drinking. I have no idea what it sells for, but if it were < $35, it would be a very good value. Drink thru 2015, 13,5% abv, score: B+

  Deep garnet, opaque; black cherries, truffles, earth, barnyard; concentrated cherry, silky, medium-full body, good balance, good structure, ripe tannins, lingering finish.
  Deep colour, intensity and concentration. Like a cross between California and Burgundy. Just a tremendous Pinot for the price! Seemed better than the '04. Brought to Pow Wow's.

  Raspberry, earthy spice, forest floor nose. Dark fruit flavours with balanced to fresh acid. Dry, spicy, rooty finish.
  4/5
  
  *Tasted at Torres' Salmos winery in the Priorat.

  Popped and served, clear hue throughout. Beetroots, slight alcohol, red fruits and earth on the nose, albeit slightly muted. Medium body with sour cherries, oak in the mouth with round tannins. Slightly tart with moderate acidity and a slight bitter edge. This wine will need a bit of time to mellow out. Revisit in 6 months. EDIT: After a couple hours plus, the wine opened up nicely. The wine gained much weight and nose opened up very well. When this settles, easily 90+ wine.
