1/17/23, 9:37 AM - I'm inclined to agree. Generally I try to give Oregon pinots about 7 or 8 years post vintage. A 2014 Franny Beck Johann showed wonderfully last year. This drank so well young, I thought it might never close down. Apparently it has. FWIW, some 2015 pinots I've had have seemed to demand more time, the structure has proven more firm than the prior vintage
