Tasting at winery. Somewhat backward aromas show dense black fruit. Plum and black cherry flavors with stern tannins in middle, then big fruit and spice emerge on long finish. Needs time. Better after 2009.

1999 Martinelli Pinot Noir Reserve 90 Points

Tasting at winery. Deep and intense black fruit with plenty of new oak spice. Very fruit forward on palate, still showing balance. Reasonable mid-palate and finish, but best young while still this fresh.

Tasting at winery. Rich and intense black fruit aromas with robust spice. Black cherry flavors, also intense and powerful with good balance. Drinking great for now, this shows the balance to continue at this level for quite a few years.
