  Still very good but I think a few years past prime.
  
  Nose: forest floor, spice, cinnamon.
  Palate: raspberry, blueberry very faint spice.
  
  All very mellow. No stewed fruit, prunes or port tastes yet. But wonder what it was like 5 years ago.

  The Twelveth Annual Stonefields Dinner (Guelph, ON): Slightly pruney overrripe fruit. The 14.9% alcohol on the label certainly indicates the level of fruit ripeness this wine shows. Notes of dark cherries, prunes, figs, barrel spice, and cola are prevalent on the nose. While this shows and aged character the barrel notes that are integrating are certainly clearly there. The palate shows heat and the length of finish is moderate on slightly overripe and cola notes.

  The Twelfth Annual Stonefields Dinner (Guelph, ON, Canada): The nose is spicy with candied notes of cola and cherry…quite ripe
  The palate is pruney and has notes of cherry, spice and cola that are all overlaid with obvious alcohol.
  The finish is medium in length but again does not integrate the alcohol well at all.
  This is just too hot for me and stylistically not what I look for in Pinot Noir.
