Sunday, July 21, 2013 - Excellent wine. Doing great and has many years left. People who rated this low have either had a bad bottle or only like super fruity American pinot.

Evolved significantly over a couple hours. Bricked, on the nose had muted red fruits, honey, light cedar, earth, truffle, chocolate. Taste has plum and red fruits, mushroom, earth. As time went on, it was dominated by sweet pinot fruits. Really long finish of earth, dark fruit with some light drying. Did have a touch of heat which kept it from being outstanding.

Seemed to be the sweet spot. But I would certainly taste it upon opening. Older bottles are all different so you need to use your judgement.
