  July 12, 2016 - I’ve had some good bottles of this, but not this one (fill was fairly low and cork a little sunken). Dead, dead, is no more, bereft of life, this is an ex-pinot C-

  July 11, 2016 - Dead. Shame, as the other bottle Dale had opened last year was really nice.

  May 24, 2015 - (decanted into another bottle about 3 hours before). Red raspberry fruit (I think guesses centered on 90s Gamay and Grenache), cedar, earth. Pretty and refined, if not very pinotesque. B+

  May 21, 2015 - Served blind by Dale, and a real shock when unveiled. Lots of bright red fruits framed by more savoury developed earthy and leathery notes, and a whiff of VA on the nose that had me guessing Musar initially. Bright acids beneath and light tannins make it very easy to drink, this is a treat. Lovely.
