Strawberry wine. As this is maturing it's pinot flavors are becoming distinctly "Strawberry."

Superb. Deep, resounding cherries, significant tannins still, and all the usual Barolo suspects - shoe polish, balsamico, pine, hints of roses. Wonderful wine.

Wow! Great wine. Has a distinct bite on the finish that lends complexity. Sharp still. Verbena, lemon/citrus, distinct sugar feel, bright and not at all cloying. Great acidity. I'd give this a couple more years.

brilliantly deep. Super ripe cherries, almost a Barolo-like shoe polish note. Very deep, rich and round. Wonderful.

Beautiful lemon curd orientation. Oak has backed off and is more fruit and acid laden. Delicious.

Superb, with roast chicken. Deep notes of plum and spice. Long finish. Some alcohol starts to show on the palate after being in glass a few hours, otherwise, a wonderful wine.

Starting to brick. Hints of orange/brown at rim. Sweet strawberry flavors. Delicious. Great acidity helps this be food friendly.

Wow. Super spicy, earthy and tasty. Buckets of dirt infused in the wine. I agree with Gilman, this will last for decades. Glad I have four more!

Agree with peternelson's note. Hint of walnut, this is on the way out. A bit flabby, but still nice apple, hints of citrus, and a saline finish. Better a few years ago.
