after some tightness and barnyard out of the bottle, this wine opened up beautifully with dark fruits and soft but present tannins. agree with the previous rater that this wine, after 10 years, has finally found it's stride.

I'm not real good with these tasting notes, but after being decanted for 4 hours, it was almost like a Amarone - dried fruits, coffee, chocolate and very subtle tannins. regardless, very enjoyable with some BGE filets and pesto pasta.

big, rich Pinot - darker fruit, full bodied, strong structure but not overpowering. decanted for two hours added tremendously to the overall quality.
