February 28, 2024 - Day 1: hard as nails. Has that pronounced Oregon perfume, a little lavender on the nose.
Black tea and cranberry, very austere
Day 2: nose gets more Burgundian but still with that Oregon bouquet. Cherries begin to emerge, tannins are a bit more drying but this could use another 5 years. Too bad as it was my last bottle.

Crushable and complex at the same time. Great fruit profile with acid and complex notes. Give it a couple more years or lots of air.

May 12, 2023 - With 90 minutes decant, this was one stunning Pinot. Everything you want is here. Aromatics, texture, acid, some nicely integrated tannin. Just wow. What a wine.
