Very intense cinnamon aroma upon opening. This gradually subdued with air. Big, structured but forward pinot reminiscent of a Cotes de Nuits wine like Gevrey Chambertin. Good length and substance with pleasant fruit in the background. Seemed fully ready to drink but can last several years.

Normally, everything from Russian Hill Estattes is of the charts. Not sure if this was just a bad vintage or bottle, but very disappointing.
