Wonderful nose upon opening, good color, dark cork. Tasted big. Liked it a lot! The wine looks crimson colored. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like mineral and cherry. It tastes like mineral, stoniness and cherry. The body is medium/full. The wine has polished texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has medium acidity.

After reading the other notes, I was afraid of opening these bottles. But, I was more than pleasantly surprised.
Light maroon to the edge of the glass. A nose of sweet cherries, a hint of white pepper on a background of cola. The amazing part is the fruit carried through to the palate with fine, smooth tannins that are indicative of a properly aged pinot.
Finished off three bottles, all with the same exact profile.

I think we sat on this last one too long.... fruit had faded, it was fine but not the wine it once was. I'm sure there are still some nice bottles out there but I'd get after these sooner versus later.

First of a few on NYE so nothing detailed but it seemed consistent with my prior notes earlier this year, and back to mid-2014. Drinking well, no sign of slowing down.
