Not tired at all. Fruit is still there, just not in your face and the acid is still there to give it some lift. Not sure it has many yrs left but damn surprised it has lasted this long.

Popped, decanted several hours, consumed over next two. Solid California Pinot with fairly robust layers of red and dark fruit, refreshing acid for balance and baking spices creeping in to add complexity.

Set out to allow the bottle to achieve room temperature and opened approximately 60 minutes before tasting. Floral notes on the nose and an initial cherry cola typical of higher alcohol pinots. This one has softened and quickly turned to spicy fruit with medium to smooth tannins. There was no over-extracted taste to this bottle that I found in the last one and it was smooth through a medium finish. It is drinking very well and seems to have some life left in it. Drink or hold for another year or two.

This wine is in a beautiful place right now. Great concentration and acidity. Beautiful RRV fruit still present in wine. Highly recommended
