  June 11, 2020 - Popped and poured after Death row for weeks. Decanted for an hour. Served in Grassls 1855. Bought on release. Lots of sediment.
  
  Cork fractured and was dry. No seepage. Initial aromas were concerning; macerated dark almost prunes, warm. Its cooked? Palate was sloppy dark berries, although good acidity. No alcohol
  
  After decanting, everything came into balance and revealed a nice balanced coastal pinot on the black cherry spectrum. There are some mild to moderate aged characteristics on the palate and aromas on display after the decant.
  
  A good to very good wine. Not sure the pleasure factor supports 10 plus years of aging effort for this bottle. Yet quite interesting.

  November 12, 2017 - PNP and this baby was singing. Raspberry, spice box, pepper and very integrated. Actually had last 1/3 of the bottle the next night and it held up nicely. Good to see this wine hanging so well at age 10. Won’t be waiting long to enjoy the next bottle

  November 8, 2017 - Ripe fruit on the nose with a hint of cola. On the palate it was restrained, with more savory and earth. Well balanced. Short finish.

  March 25, 2017 - Berry, plum, licorice, lingering. Not necessarily as complex as some W-S pinot, but still a tasty pour.

  October 21, 2016 - This wine fell a bit on its face. Taste was off, thin and a bit burnt. Was cellared in perfect condition, not sure what may have happened. Disappointed.
