Still drinking great; no signs of oxidation; fresh bold fruit with hints of earth and spice on the nose; long finish; an excellent California Pinot Noir aging gracefully. Should easily last several more years and be very enjoyable.

Raspberry, cherry and vanilla on the nose. Between medium and full bodied (14.8% ABV), opened about two and half hours ahead of time and wow, did it show well! Bright red raspberry and cherry upfront, deepening through a mid-body which showed a silky elegance defining the excellent density. Adds some tart red cherry, cranberry and strawberry in the back. Nearly perfect transition to the finish. Good structure with both tannins and acidity contributing, but integrated and full balanced by the fruit. All the elements were in balance and this wine was simply beautiful to drink. While I'd agree this won't improve tremendously with additional time, it should be able to continue at this stage for a few years.

Pnp, drank over 4 hours. Soft fruit, blueberry, a bit of earth & licorice nose. Smooth fruit, delicious Pinot. Drink now-2018. I don't see this getting better.

Insane old world Pinot. Huge wine, not flowery or feminine. My last bottle. Drink up now.

Wonderful. Perfect mix of hedonism and aging.
