To be honest I can’t get my hands around this one. It’s 12 years old and mellowed with some fruit but nothing jumps out at me. I’m sure it’s changed a lot during cellared time.

Drinking very well right now. Not a delicate Pinot by any means. Picked up some heat initially, but that blew off. Nice fruit, texture, and overall balance. Likely at or near its peak, although not falling apart by any stretch. Will check in with my last bottle within the next year or so. 91+ pts. PJP 2015.
