July 16, 2015 - Probably at or near peak. Drinking well immediately, which is why I say that. Such a lovely wine!

February 17, 2015 - This bottle had started leaking a bit, so I opened it fearing the worst. It was still good, and the wine still needed about 45 minutes to open up. Terrific after that, just a wonderful wine!

January 16, 2015 - Amazing, perfectly balanced. Needs about 45-60 minutes of decanting, and then the wine settles into a smooth, luscious Pinot reminiscent of the best Oregon has to offer. More feminine in style, neither a fruit bomb nor a barnyard romp. Just right. One of my favorite wines of all time, drinking perfectly now.

March 25, 2009 - Slightly better in all respects compared to the 2003 Le Nord, but also starting to reach end of cellar time, slight oxidation; recommend drinking any 2003 stock now. Better structure and longer finish than the Le Nord. Opens in glass, elegant, smooth, excellent fruit.

May 11, 2007 - Opened to consider a decant and found a huge nose of black cherries and concentrated raspberry. Body was thickly concentrated (both in taste and texture) fruit, mostly raspberry, with some acidity behind it. No hint of oak. I recorked the bottle without decanting.
Served two hours later, the nose was not diminished at all, but the fruit on the palate had stepped back a notch, allowing a finer balance of acidity and sugar, and secondary characteristics (some mint/eucalyptus shimmering and rich, savory flavors) were peeking through. Texture was fantastic, velvety and lush. I expected to maybe find some tannin showing through, but it was buried. Towards the end of the bottle the oak became evident in the nose.
A great bottle of wine.
