PNP. What a difference a decade can make! PNP. Cork perfect. Color garnet w bricking edges. Nose has dark cherry framed by oak with some rhubarb and spice. Swishing shows acid alcohol and tannin. Finish is still tingly from the tannin and alcohol, but this is more pleasant than I call from last time. Sipping shows youthful fruit and aforementioned structure in better balance. Great with red meat tonight. Would serve with something hearty for sure

The colour of the wine not really showing it's age. Quite a robust bouquet for a pinot. Appealing pinot flavours and more youthful than I was expecting.

Color is violet red with almost no bricking. No raisins or VA. This is in very good shape for it's age. Very red in notes, cranberry, cherry, and even raspberry. Baking spices, cinnamon and nutmeg. Leaner than other reviews mention but it may be the age. It is silky smooth on the palate. Ripe and concentrated but not too rich. A bit Burgundian in texture and new world in flavors. Medium acidity and mid-length finish. Not exactly my type of pinot but very, very enjoyable.

Ripe, with some pronounced raisin characters and some VA on the nose. Was hoping for better.
