Light ruby with light core and moderate bricking. The nose is big and pretty with sweet spice, strawberry/cherry, watermelon, red and blue flowers, truffle, some WD40. Silky body, plumper fruit than the eye suggests. Lush, sweet front leading to savory and a bit of tartness on finish. This is really lovely and has all sorts of nice things working together right now. In a great place. 95, though I'm thinking that might be conservative for this bottle.

Drank side by side with an AP Vin and the wife liked this wine better. Deeper fruit taste and good balance on the palate. Exceptional. I preferred the AP vin.

Brilliant mature classic RRV pinot. A tiny bit of bricking at the edge of the glass but otherwise still plenty of cherry/strawberry fruit and lots of spice, cola and tobacco notes with a long, lingering finish.
