Color was ruby red and wine full bodied. Red fruit and strong tannins which suggested it has 5 years plus left. Classic Pinot. I found the wine on day three open and well balanced. I had thought the fruit might be fading from the cellar tracker notes, but that thought was far from reality. I would give it a three to five hour decant. It was really a great bottle which I stated in the score.

Drinking very well still! Opened with little warning, so only used an aerator on the bottle. Sour cherries on the nose. Starts with a gentle cherry on the palate with lingering tobacco, oak and pepper on the finish. Good balance and structure.

Fruit forward and devoid of any terroir or earthiness. Disappointing for a Pinot. Good balance with nice acidity. Paired well with fresh salmon. A nice wine but will leave the others for another 1-2 years before pulling their corks.

Was very surprised at how good this bottle was. We drank at 4th of July cookout, so the tasting note is a little brief. Lots of cola and black cherry flavors. Showing a little sign of maturity. Big styled, but had a nice balance. I would very much recommend

Great wine. Very flavourful, smooth, tasty, not overpowering or too sweet, excellent bouquet
