  I've had a few bottles of this recently and it drinks well right out of the bottle with soft, dark red fruits, good concentration and a nice finish but does start to lose some steam after a couple of hours in the glass so would be drinking now. B+

  PNP. This was very good right out of the bottle and singing with 20 minutes of air. Ripe, dark fruit. Very nice concentration and a smooth finish. Fun wine to drink that shows more new than old world but really well made pinot. Holding up well for its age but drink now as this is not going to get any better than it is now. A-

  Unfortunately had to PNP as I arrived late from DC and had no time to decant. Dark fruit on the nose. The palate was dark plums, rhubarb, hints of red berries and a taste of coffee. Finish was moderate. Drinking well at 12 years should have a good few left. I believe aeration would definitely help.

  Responds well to aeration, needs decanting to unleash the beast
