Bought based on '18 in the WS Top 100. It was fantastic even at this younger stage with smooth tannins and balanced throughout. Buying more to put down.

Well not as good as I was hoping. Certainly decent, but nothing to get too excited about after letting it age for awhile.

Never materialized to anything special. Tannins never relaxed and depth was just OK.

First one from the cellar. Aerated right away and super delish. Approachable tannins, great lingering finish. Only gonna get better tonight and the other bottles down the road.

Still enjoying this pinot. Not the most dynamic, but for the cost a solid pinot going into its last drinkability year.
