Second bottle in last 2 months. Similar note on the palate, but the nose was surprisingly more reserved. Some hint of flower, spice but nowhere near the explosive nose experienced in the first bottle.

Bottle breathe (without pouring any wine out) for 1 hour. Explosive aroma of red fruit, probably mixture of strawberry and cherry. The palate is very balanced and integrated sweet fruit, clean flower. Not very complex but fresh and integrated with medium to long finishing. This is so ready to drink now. Enjoy

2013 New Year's Day Tasting (Marietta, GA): Really bright red fruit underneath the dense, sweet texture. Sour cherry, sweet spice, musky- not brett, very balanced, with a fresh finish. Half said older grenache and the other half said Burg. Really tasty and should have won the tasting.

Splendid! Seductive aroma not too strong but long-lasting. Silky tannin, chewy, not intense in the mouth. Wonderful!

A very different wine from the bottle I tried in March 2011 (though from the same batch).
Beautifully scented pinot fruit. Sweet and spicy. Animal. Intense and deeply satisfying. Not the most complex of wines, but a joy to drink.
