At first I thought this was kind of thin and blah. As it opened up, it became clear that it was different from the Sonoma Pinots we'd been drinking. Deep red, blackberries, smooth to the silky. Very nice!

Pinot Noir blind tasting (Imperial Treasure Super Peking Duck, Paragon): Tasted blind. Clear ruby with slight brickish hues. Subtle nose of dark and red fruits with some smoke and spiciness. Showing freshness and good intensity on palate, robust and good mid-palate with spicy fruits and fresh strawberry. This wine showing very well on palate, age very nicely and exhibit nice complexity and balance. Drinking at the peak and no wonder this is the wine of the night with a convincing victory from the group. I just have no idea where it comes from before the label reveal.

Very nice now but will wait for the next one. Subtle with good acidity and lots of berries.
