Community Tasting Notes (8) Avg Score: 91.1 points

  • Right after opening it had dark cherry and earth...and not a lot more. Still primary. After airing and warming up a tad, it started opening up a little. Broader fruit profile with some red and dark cherry fruit and a blend of ripe and tart. A pleasant wine that is a bit simple and straightforward.

  • This is still a bit young, but big bold and tasty. Dark ripe pinot fruit with full expanisve palate coating flavor. This needs time for the nose to develop and the tannins to integrate, but very good now. Drink over the next 5 years+...AM

  • First Night...90 Pts, and an average/poor QPR. Muted nose, after 3+ hours giving: slightly earthy, no fruit to speak of, and a hint of menthol that was nice. Maybe this is way too young or maybe it just does not have the stuff. Palate was medium/full with ripe cranberry and red fruit, finish was longish and balanced. This wine has checked all the right boxes, but just misses being great. Drink over the next 5?? years. This one will be interesting. I remember the first bottle being very primary and delicious, maybe this is in a dumb phase? Alex

    Second Night...92 Pts, Stored on the counter with the cork stuck back in tightly. This expanded incredibly, giving blackberrys and spice on the nose. Palate added weight, depth and length. More rich Black fruit, and totally lost the cranberry thing. Decant or wait...Alex

  • Medium red color. Red cherry fruit nose. On the palate soft ripe red fruit, elegance and finesse, soft well integrated tannins. Beautifully balanced finish. Lovely.
