Wonderful freshness and lightness on the palate, with great length and floral notes, even after 15 years. Persistent but clean flavours right to the end.

15 years old and still delightful. Fading, dry cherries on the nose, and slightly brownish tinge, but lovely freshness on the palate, some herbal stemishness, and great length.

The initial aroma is quite funky, but full of blackberry and quite fumey. After an hour in decanter the perfume had opened up. Very fruity in the mouth. After 3 hours it's beginning to fade a little. Past its prime but still lovely to drink. I've left half of it in the bottle under argon so will revisit it on the weekend.

Great pinot, in the middle of its drinking window, with power and poise. Years to go.

It tried to take the middle road between willamette and burgundy. Felt to over extracted going to that syrah edge.
