Big vanilla musky nose with some cherry. This is how a big Pinot should be. Big and beautiful balance, nice cherry but not a fruit bomb, sold chalky finish with nice tannins. Drinking great but should last another 5 years at least.

Tannic leathery nose. Big wine with many years left but a bit tannic and I question whether it will become more balanced.

Lovely leathery nose. Perfectly well balanced with nice leathery fruit and enough tannin to last for several more years. Not huge but very smooth.

Solid musky nose. Medium to full bodied, well balanced with wonderful oak and tannins. A bit of leather but has more characteristics of a syrah, but a very well made wine.

Big musky nose. Full bodied, big fruit and nice tannins, maybe a bit sweet but I think this wine needs more age which could soften the fruit.
