Drank over several nights but preserved with Argon in between tasting. Early on it its life this wine was tannic and oaky. At this point the pronounced oak is gone revealing red fruit, some well-integrated oak flavor and a very fine-grained tannic structure. Just enough acidity to freshen the red fruit. With airtime this became nicely darker fruited with good balance, a touch of cedar and a silky finish. Cellaring paid off for this. Very nice.

Drank at Easter with family. Maturing very slowly. Nice nose of rocks and blue fruit. Stony blue fruit with good acidity on the palate. Finishes crisp and structured. Should have a long life ahead of it.

Drank at Easter with family. Pretty pinot fruit and spice perfume, red fruited and juicy on the palate with a nice balance and a silky, fine - grained finish. Not fading at all.
