Popped and poured. Drank over 2 hours. Cherry and sandalwood on the nose. Very well balanced with tannins well resolved. Tart cherry predominant on the palate. This is drinking really well right now. It should continue to hold and potentially improve over the next 10 years. Very good.

Continues to drink beautifully! Similar tasting notes to previous bottle with perhaps a bit less fruit and more acidity. Paired beautifully with Eastern European chicken and wild mushrooms.

Let's face it, this is a perfect wine. I not big on scoring, but it still has its place. This should be 100, the only other reason I'm holding off is that I saved some for night 2, and might be tempted to gush further. I'll be honest, I've never tasted a DRC or Dujac but I know enough about this grape to know that means something. I have tasted some great and pedigreed pinots or the years, and happily report this is the best I've ever had. <mike drop>

26 months later: Still light in color, and now showing some lovely and savory black tea character. Super balance. Extremely enjoyable over three nights, perhaps peaking on the second.

More appealing this time around. I did give the bottle some added air.
