This is one of the better 15 year old Pinot Noir's that you will find. Cherry kirsh aromatics with a small amount of cedar wood. In mouth the wine is still acidity driven with lively spice and tartness. Very much a fruit forward variety. Like I have said for many of the 2009's ........ they are Lovely !!! There are not any of these left but they are treasures in the wine world.

If you are lucky enough to still hold some of these you are in for a real treat. Cherry fruit, complexity, and beautiful balance. Absolutely delicious Pinot drank with chicken cacciatore. Sadly my last bottle.

What a pleasant surprise. Pop and pour and drank with a pheasant dish. Right off the bat loads of black cherry and earthy notes. ...For a wine that is supposedly beyond its drinking window. I would call this prime time for this one. I plan to drink my other bottle in the next few years.
