  Blind Pinot Noir Tasting and Lunch (San Francisco): Deep ruby. More deeply fruited and concentrated than the 2016, and it shares that cola note. Perfectly ripe red and black fruit, a strong sense of terroir, and tannins that are nicely folded into the mix. Terrific, excellent earth, and it seems much closer to peak than its younger compatriot.

  PnP, needed a decant as it started out very tight. Enjoyed over the next 3 hours and just kept getting better. Aromas of floral, cherry, black raspberry, herbs and spice. This leads to a medium body with cherry, black raspberry, floral, herbs, spice and a touch of stems. good acidity. Still has some tannin in the finish to resolve. Good now, but still not at it's peak. A much better food wine than sipping wine.

  Popped and poured. Attractive high toned floral nose. On the palate, medium bodied, transparent, red cherry, strawberry, herbs and spice. Deep, vigorous flavours and length. In fact appears to be just coming out of shell but could use a few more years. Impressive stuff that should continue to develop.

  PnP, needed a decant as it started out very tight. Enjoyed over the next 4 hours and just kept getting better. opens with beautiful aromatics with floral, cherry, black raspberry, herbs and spice. This leads to a medium body with cherry, black raspberry, floral, herbs, spice and a touch of stems. Still has some tannin in the finish to resolve. Good now, but still not at it's peak. Hoping the fruit lasts until the wine really shines. A few bottles left.

  Very nice cali Pinot. Cherries. Spices. Definitely some Vosne character with pretty good acidity. Pnp gained some depth the first evening. Better day 1 than 2 or 3
