why can't i stop drinking pinot?

this wine was initially very hot, so i decanted it. now, three hours later, i am enjoying it. it's a big, bold expression of the grape, but manages to stay on the correct side of the fence regarding extraction. i'm all over the board with this producer, but margie shows signs of excellence, and i keep buying the occasional bottle. black and red and still somewhat tannic, i know that she also prefers that you hold her wines longer than this. what can you do? i rather view this as a guilty pleasure, with no apologies. why? because brogan is hardly a critics' darling. i suggest you try the 01 helio doro as well, VERY good.
