Nearly brown garnet. Strawberry, fresh leather, and baking spice nose. Medium to full bodied, pomegranates, pepper, bing cherries, well integrated rounded tannins, good acid, mint, a bit of heat, and a long red fruited finish. Superb, especially on night 2. Lots of life left in this one.

Medium red-violet color. Fresh raspberry coulis nose, touch of celeriac, black peppercorn and French oak spice. On arrival, smooth and low tannin, with balanced acidity; harmonious, fat, ready. Delicious and deliciosly easy drinking, this gets better with aeration hour by hour. Kent's estate Pinots might be the best "least known" top pinot noir every year. Bottle #6 of six.

88-89-90 on Days 1-3. Had different experience from poster who saw no benefit from aeration. Little subtlety as PnP, much more interesting and a good QPR by Day 2.
