Nice nose of strawberry, twigs, and spice. Medium bodied, dusty cherries, herbs, juicy rhubarb, sweet tannins, good acid, and medium-plus, tart cherry finish. Probably as good as its going to get, so drink up.

Amazing perfume on the nose. Oak has integrated nicely compared to previous tastings. Dark fruit, cherry, integrated tannins and oak, soft acid. Was not a fan on this on release (too much oak) but this wine has really come to together with 5 years of bottle age. Has a long life ahead of it.

I had short expectations, but this was darn good and enjoyed by all. Deep Pinot, with dark fruit, spice and balanced acidity. A hint of sassafras too. Definitely exceeded my expectations.

The fruit is more balanced with the rest of the wine now. Decant carefully. A pleasure to drink. Good acidity and interest beyond the fruit. Length is shorter than the last bottle but still a high QPR. Drink now

As before, with a long life ahead. Lots of dried herbs and dark fruit. Very nice. No hurry on this one.
