Deep color. Big nose...tons of bramble fruit, dark cherries, plums, but also some underlying herbal, almost mint, notes. Mouth-full of a wine...medium tannins, full body, with long finish.
Had over two days...held up well. Bright red fruits on the nose. Classic Pinot aromas. Balanced and light/medium bodied, with some acid and light tannins. Might benefit from a year or two in the bottle, but drinking fairly well right now.

PnP on day 1. Was a bit hidden behind the acid, but had Plum/bramble/cherries/spice on nose.
Day 2 - much better integrated/balanced...lost a bit of the acidity on the finish. Still some fruit on the nose, but less pronounced.
would recommend a few hours decant if opening now.
