We ordered this 25-year old Pinot at the Charter Oak restaurant in St. Helena, and the wine was drinking wonderfully for its age. Dark red in color, medium in body, nose of mushroom and leather. Tastes of plum, dried cherry, and herbs, with a finish that gained length with time. 13.5% alcohol. The fruit is still very much alive - and even held up to the steak dish - while also showing the earthy notes you'd expect at this point in time. Drinking the wine was a fun experience (at a fantastic restaurant).
