July 27, 2023 - Three years since my last bottle. Popped and poured at a restaurant. This would have benefited from a 90 min decant. This is nearing or in its prime with easily another decade of drinking. The balance and finish are terrific. Revisit 2025

August 29, 2021 - Popped and poured. This is a translucent red wine. On the nose, I get cherry, strawberry, cinnamon, and tree sap. The mouth brings some crunchy red fruits with a fine caress. The finish shows tart cherry or cranberry aspects, which pulls one back for another sip. Overall, this is an enjoyable wine, although it isn’t the most nuanced expression of Pinot I’ve ever had. I’d probably drink up over the next 3-5 years. 92 points.
