December 4, 2018 - 12/2018. Found a case of this tucked in a corner of the cellar, now a bit past its prime, I’m afraid.

February 22, 2009 - Quite dark for a Pinot. Somewhat chemical fruit nose, a bit candy like. Classic earthy and spicy Pinot Noir fruit on the palate, backed by modern style milk chocolate and creamy flavors. At first dense and silky mouthfeel. Mid-palate then falls apart. Unfortunately, the acidity is a bit too high and the alcohol levels are over the top leading to an acidic and slightly burning finish. - 86 points
