Pop and pour. Aromas of maraschino cherry, baking spice, strawberry, mushroom and bit of earth. Lot of fruit still on this nose like a younger wine. Flavors cherry, cranberry, mushroom, currant and rhubarb. Ends with a long finish of 35-40 seconds with sour cherry and current notes. Might need some more air to really fully show itself.
Update: this really opened up after an hour. Sour red fruit disappeared and more upfront red fruit. Hard edges smoothed out. Upgrading from 95 to 97

lovely rose petal nose; smooth and soft dark red fruit; modest complexity; so easy to drink; has aged well, but no need to wait; works with a chicken salad.

Decanted 2 hrs. Vibrant red fruit balanced by pepper and burnt wood. Delightful.

A near perfect Pinot at its prime
