  Still in great shape, youthful exuberance and fresh fruit aromas are gone replaced by a wonderful aged PN smell of our neighborhood Flying A garage. That's a strange descriptor for a wine but my memories of the smell of that old auto garage are very strong and pleasant. I often find it in older pinots. I wish I could find other descriptors, this one is so personal I doubt if anyone else can relate to it. Nicely balanced, smooth with a very nice medium long finish.

  I would echo the comment on being still in great shape. Strawberry fruit, smooth finish. Definitely improved after an hour. NIcely integrated oak. Very enjoyable. If well cared for should last another couple years no problem.

  Still in great shape. Lovely nose, needed to breathe a bit before drinking.

  lovely, enticing old-pinot bouquet and flavors but too much heat and the finish is kaput
