2012 Pisoni Pinot Noir Estate

This was I'd say aggressively decanted several times by myself in celebration of my restaurant being shut down for Corona virus. Huge wine. Took several hours to become what I'd describe as Pinot like IMO. A very good wine indeed even though not in my wheelhouse.

Drank over three days. Decanted for three hours. Day one was still pretty tight. Day two was a little better. Day three was great. Beautiful aromatics and fruit to go along with. Long life ahead! The score reflects the current drinking experience. I would expect some improvement in 2-4 years time.

Drank over three days. Day one was ok. Very tannic and a little acidity. Day two was a bit disjointed and fruity. Day three was lush and a very nice drink with enough structure to make it all work. Probably not worth cellaring for eight years, but it was one of the first 20-30 bottles I added to my cellar so it was fun to finally open up.
