AW95. Wow this is fantastic and in clearly drinking in a peak window - the oldest block at J Rochioli. Bramble, cherry, spices onto a med-long finish - lovely perfume evolving after 30 mins in the glass. This was from excellent storage, provenance and it shows. Last bottle from an auction batch, I will remember this one.

A Night of Rochioli (Mostly West Block) (Classic Dallas): Pretty closed at first for me. Very shy aromas with some tart cherries. Nose was a bit more open than the 2005 bottling. Palate with some fruit and moderate tannins. Not much at first. Later in the evening, the wine opened up with aromas of baking spices, bark, earth, herbs, and some red fruit. Mix of tart red and ripe black cherries on palate, bark, and some oak spice. Nice acids on a full body. Better balance and liked this more than the 05 version.

Tremendous RR pinot. Not showing any age and beautifully balanced between plum/cherry fruit and tannins.
