Big nose....."dedanted" for over an hour (got sidetracked on a "quick job"). Lot's of berries - rasberry in particular.

I drank this wine over the last 12 months......my notes go from "Excellent" to "kinda week for a Williams Selymen." Overall my average rating was an 86. I wonder if I overstated the rating because I knew they were a Williams Selymen pinot.

Not as much flavor as I was expecting. I thought this would have aged better.
