November 13, 2009 - "Simple" Friday Dinner (Imperial Treasure, Great World City): Extremely decent New World Pinot. No one confused this with the Burgs when served blind, but it was rather delicious in its own right. Nose showed a touch more alcohol than the Burgs, along with toasty, vanillin-laced oak notes and a touch of rubber and mint - all pointing to the new world. Pretty nice aromatics though - plums, cherries, earth and mushroom, with a little nutty action going on in there. Very well-balanced palate, with clean acid and a fine, firm structure holdings up sweet cherry flavours. Not the most complex, but well-put together. Past the mid-palate, there were more rubber inflection along with a touch of mint and eucalyptus moving into a nicely long finish.
