Hazy notes - the wine is looking browner than last time (5 years ago), but was showing well, with a nice nose of earthy cherries and strawberries that echoed on the medium bodied, velvety palate. The third, last, and best bottle of this. Again, nothing too flash, but a solid aged pinot (B+).

brought this at a dinner party last night, decanted it for 1-2 hours before tasting. This showed differently than the last bottle, as it was more open and richer tasting. Strawberries, cherries, not much complexity, a solid if rather simple and modern style burgundy. It did improve as the night went on; I'll try my last bottle in 2-3 years (B+).

Hazy notes from last night. Had with seafood crepes, and the food improved the wine. Lovely pinot nose, and the light to medium-bodied opened up a bit with air. But still, it stayed on the light and acidic side, though certainly with lovely cherry, strawberry and a hint of forest floor notes. Still developing over the next few years, I think. Solid but unspectaular (B+).
