August 18, 2023 - Delicious, earthy and spicy aromas, not unlike a Côte Rôtie. Chevy, and quite full bodied for a Pinot Noir. Nice acidity. Lovely wine.

April 19, 2023 - Decanted for 30 minutes to the first sip but the second glass was better - after one hour in the decanter. There was some slight sediment. The color darkened with air to a medium ruby. The medium bodied palate showed dark red fruits (black cherry, raspberry and cranberry) along with some spice, some earth and nicely balancing acidity. Will probably hold.

April 24, 2022 - 6.5 years after the prior: This remains quite structured. Balanced, with good acidity. But to our tastes, there was a tomato/cola aspect that we found less than friendly. On the other hand, none of the notes I’ve reviewed below suggest any hint of cola. Hmmm. Enjoyable enough over three nights, peaking on the second.
