Fully resolved, nose is more Burgundian than California Pinot with subtle aromas of terrior. Fresh raspberries and cola notes. Palate is not sweet but not cloying with a pleasant finish.

2 hr. decant and the wine was still not fully opened. Hints of sweet cherries and white pepper. Tannins are present but not stripping. Drank this side by side with 2000 Pegau. I will not open another bottle of 2012 for several years. FWIW the 2000 was sublime if you have any drink them now. I can't imagine them getting any better.

My last bottle and alas I discovered I drank the others way to young. This would easily hold it own in a blind CDP tasting.
