Fantastic bottle of pinot. Elegant nose with a touch of earth but solid red fruit. Soft mouthfeel but with midpalate heft. Resolved tannins and silky finish. Went awesome with smoked duck as well as mushroom risotto.

Dark beautiful ruby/dark cherry red in color. Nose of spice box with a nice balance of acid and extremely smooth test. Initially it opened up slowly but it opened up quickly. On the palate, a nice flavor of cherry, strawberry and nice lengthy finish. A great sipping wine that was a great way to celebrate a day/evening with my father.

Nose was pretty funky on the PnP but blew off quickly. Great acid with a nice balance. Initially there was not much tannin, but as it opened up started picking up some grip from fine grain tannin. Strawberry and bing cherry with a hint of sour. Medium finish. Very nice wine. Paired well with roast turkey breast.

Three years since my last bottle, but very similar: Light garnet color. The nose has cherry, strawberry, cola, sandalwood, and herbs. Medium weight on the palate. Very nice depth and balance. Has some nice freshness. Tannins are a little light. The finish is medium length.

This wine is in a great place. My notes are very similar to HitAnyKey's except I also got a medicinal quality on the palate.
