Wow, this 7 year old Pinot was obviously over the hill. It had been properly cellared and I would have thought that a quality Pinot would be still in its prime but sadly no. At first I thought it was corked but there was no evidence of that. If anyone else has some of this still I would like to hear your findings. It was weak but not necessarily bad tasting. Color showed some orange hue. I'm not rating since it could be a defective bottle.

Decanted about 1 hour. Served with leftover turkey, stuffing and mashed potatoes. Was the 2nd Miner of the night, following an 09 Rosella's (not 777), and this had a beautiful floral and spice nose and a deeper, fruitier taste than the Rosella's. Really nice wine that paired excellently.

Very tasty. Lots of cherry and cranberry. Fantastic bottle that should easily go much longer.

Beautiful nose and opaque rose like color. Hints of cream, strawberry and vanilla...like tasting a milkshake without the heavy texture. Wonderful!
