PnP and followed for a day. Black and red cherry, red currant, touch of strawberry, smoke, earth, graphite, and some herbs on the nose. Red plum, black cherry, tart cherry, earth, spice, and a little herbs on the palate. Tangy acidity, mostly integrated tannins, leaving a light grip in the mouth, medium-long savory finish. Wow, so savory, almost meaty. Very nice. There's some smoke but not detecting smoke taint.

A perfectly integrated Pinot. A nose of fruit and earth blended together. Due to a cork issue needed to decant. Was nervous with a 13 year old wine but it really opened up. Fruit ... some strawberry but also some darker fruits as well. Later in the evening the savory earth tones were more notable. Will enjoy the rest in the cellar with pleasure!

Still in a great spot, drinking very well. Reminds one of the finest old world Pinot Noirs, just reaching it's prime. Perfectly integrated and softened while maintaining distinct aromas of ripe strawberry with rhubarb and flavors of red berries, black cherries, and fresh plums with a hint of baking spice.
