  November 27, 2023 - This wine was aged in concrete and used oak, though the aromas of wood are noteworthy, along with red cherry, raspberry, and hints of cured meats, iron, and leather. On the palate, tart strawberries and plum, with a touch of pepper and lingering minerality. Good length and purity, with ripe tannins and juicy acidity. Develops more complexity with time in the glass. A two hour decant helps bring out more sophisticated aromas and flavors.
  
  Outside Burgundy, I have not found a better Pinot at this price range. Classic in style, unlike most New World pinot’s which I find too fruity and uninteresting, this tends to be more savory and restrained, with better balance and complexity, exhibiting greater spice and earth notes. Drinking well today with a decant, but another year or two will bring out the best in this wine. From previous experience with other vintages, I find this wine always drinks best between six and ten years from the vintage.

  November 1, 2023 - Second time having this. Last time finally found a great Pinot Noir and this time was as good. So good and smooth.

  September 6, 2023 - Really drinking very well now. New world fruit with old world soul. Has a bit of everything but I found it less funky than the Kiwis and Oregons and less extracted than most Californians. Lacked a bit of complexity to be great.

  August 3, 2023 - A little different from my first bottle. Much more tart, crunchy fruit, not as round. Blind I might have guessed it was Gamay. Will be interesting to see where it goes with a bit more time.
