  Tasted at Et Fille tasting room. Tasted side by side with the 2016. The color of this wine was amazing - tawny port brown! But definitely a Smoking good Pinot! Red fruit was still very present and fresh on nose and taste with a medium finish. An absolute treat to drink!!!

  So one of the benefits of being in the club, aside from the 20% discount, is that periodically Howard and Jessica add a library selection to the box of goodies. This time we scored a great blast from the past. Had purchased 4 of these previously - the '07s were/are magical - none left (of course). We are bad, bad pinot pigs. :-)
  
  This has held up so well, probably just slightly beyond the peak now - but just slightly. The aromatics are heady and inviting. An initial hit of alcohol that blew off after a bit - leading to an earthy, lush, bold wine (and yes, I get that rose petal note) that holds up with the pork I served tonight yet is perfect all alone too. I'm holding out hope the '11s will be similar to the '07s. Spectacular. You should definitely drink this now.

  Similar to my 6/22/13 note, this bottle provides roughly the same experience. Great earthy, floral complexity in the nose. Lean on the palate but with balanced tannins and acidity. Some initial sulfur/campfire stink blew off after a hour or so. Again a really delicious wine that is drinking quite well now but should continue to age.

  Oregon: Young vs. old vine tasting & the consumption of Hank, a Scottish Highland steer (Paul's house): Larger nose here, but still scaled and balanced nicely. Soft palate, which is quite round textually. Soft and lean, but not too much intensity. Puckering, lean finish that's soft and round. This is decent, but pretty straight forward.
  
  I guessed young vines on this as it was comparatively flabby... Maresh, so obviously this is old vines.

  Really subtle nose showing earth and fruit aromas in balance, dried roses, red tea, dried wood, loamy earth along with dark fruit and raspberry fruit. Subtle in that it's not jumping out of the glass, but it has a lot to say, good complexity. Really nice texture right on entry, a medley of blackberries and raspberries along with red tea, stems and dark earth. The acidity and tannin are really well balanced and integrated currently. Medium to light intensity all around. Long finish with lingering acidity, refined tannin and red berry fruit. Overall this is a really good wine. The texture here is really nice and overall integration is great. It's complex. Not an intense wine in any degree, this one speaks to you softly. Consumed over a 3 hour period, this only got better as it was opened. 90 on opening, 90+ now.
