Found an old bottle (2007) of this wine. Decanted for an hour. Very light in taste, even for a Pinot. Slightly acidic grape juice would be my best description. A hint of raspberry and cherry. Somewhat dry mouthfeel.

Got one bottle on wine store clerk recommendation. Opened it up to see if I should get more. Really nice interesting nose, very earthy with some dark fruit in it. Had a glass with dinner, again great complex taste, very earthy, blackberry, currant. Would have given it high 80's rating at this time. But then I came back an hour later, and it had fallen completely apart. All the earthiness and complexity was gone, very fruity taste, almost like grape juice.

Decanted and poured first glass immediately. Needed more time to open up, got significantly better over the course of the evening.
