October 24, 2015 - Opened and decanted 2 hours. Deep and dark prune color. Dried fruit, cherries and raisins on the nose. Strawberry jam and dates, licorice, finishes like toasted nuts and buttered bread. Full and round, still seems bigger and richer than Pinot noir and has not hollowed out with age. This is still the bomb despite concerns from other users that its drinking window was closing a few years back. Unfortunately my last bottle and wish I still had more of these.

January 6, 2013 - Still showing quite well, with full fruit forward though the back is a bit thinner. Not evolving into the Burgundian earth, but still a nice bottle with taste lasting 3+ minutes on the palate.

Still quite rich and bold for a pinot - has the nose but the flavors are richer so if you like old world, you probalby won't care for this. But the fruits are lovely, both berries and cherries, and the oak is integrated and subtle. It is big enough to hold up to even a steak dinner and could overwhelm some tyipcal pinot pairings. But we love it.
