  January 1, 2024 - 2023 New Years Eve: I had a small pour in front of me for about 45 minutes. The flavor was deeper with earthy ash and the fruit was not very fresh. I was hoping to follow this and see if it improved but I was unable to do so. So my score reflects the 45 minutes it was in front of me, which was still a very nuanced, tertiary and evolved pinot.

  December 31, 2023 - New Years Eve (Rocknroller's (Kevin & Vicki's Place)): Medium red color with a 6mm transition. PNP, drank a glass over 2 hours. It's been just over a year and a half since checking in on this. Tonight's bottles was very good, but didnt rise to the level as recent bottles. It really seemed to be gaining depth and complexity over 90 minutes, just when it was about gone. Tart raspberry, dried earth, leather, tart dried berries, dried tobacco, graphite, deep and long. This really didn't even start to develop the typical perfum for an hour. 93+ to 94pts.

  December 31, 2023 - 2023 New Years Eve Celebration! (Kevin's House): Very nice Oregon Pinot that is leaning on the tertiary side of the spectrum, although still showing quite a bit of red fruit. I would have probably liked this even more a few years ago, but still drinking quite nicely today!
  
  Nose shows cherry blossom, bramble and tree bark. Palate is mostly tertiary with some red fruit (cherry and raspberry), but mostly forest floor, bramble and notes of tar and anise, finishing with hints of cedar. I found the wine very enjoyable, but am confident others found it even more enjoyable than I. 94+ and in a good spot for my palate, although I would be drinking up if I owned any!

  September 2, 2023 - Nose: Deep inky/Stargazer lily aromas with perfumy florals. Just spectacular! Palate: Despite frustrations from a broken and stuck cork this last bottle of mine is firing on all cylinders! Still bright acidity, with cherries and some blueberry fruits. Finish is incredibly elegant and lengthy. Could be the best one of these I've had. Great to go out on a high note!

  March 19, 2023 - Mature red cherry and berry, good weight, good spice with plenty of earth. This was slightly better when young, but certainly still good now.
