Tasting Notes for Joevick1

Decanted for 2.5 hours and drank over the next two. Big bursts of blue and black berries with a bit of soft vanilla finish. As it opened up, baking spices and pepper became more prevalent. Fantastic wine. 95+

3 hour decant. Dark fruit and floral nose. Fruit and gravel taste. It did fall a bit flat as others have said, but still enjoyable.

Rivals any top rated pinot. Depth and complexity with balanced acidity and tannins.

Black fruit, tobacco. Very tight at first. Started to open up two hours in. Give a few more years in the cellar or decant for 3 hours.
