  Ginger and smoked meats, intense cherry and mineral. Deep, layered and fleshy. Great drive and presence. Flavours fill every crevice of the mouth and it is like liquid velvet. The finish is precise and stony and really fans out.

  Difficult to judge what this will ultimately become given its extreme youth, but an elegant wine even today. Deep and complex fruit readily absorbing the wood. A great foundation to this wine

  This bottle was # 14 of 179 bottles. A special vintage and very special wine. Velvet right off the front of the mouth, fruity, but with a middle full of earth and dirt. Rich. Much more so than most Pinots. The strength in the middle was what set this apart from other good wines and made it exceptional. For a young 2006 wine, it needed no time to breath. Good from beginning to end over the course of an hour.
  The wine looks dark red with a light brown colored rim. Most Pinots would be more brown at this age. There is light sediment in the bottle. It smells like raspberry, forest floor and mushroom. It tastes like forest floor and mushroom. The body is medium. The wine has polished texture. The wine has medium acidity.

  Don’t know if this makes sense but this wine just smells like it’s going to be velvety and it is. There are red and black fruits, a little soy and hoisin and some menthol. It has great perfume and density and has immaculate balance. Drinking very nicely now but plenty in reserve for long aging.
