Punching above what it should be a for a so-called lesser year. Plenty of fruit and caramel and years to go but already drinking really well. Very nice indeed

opened....clear, dark purple..hidden fruit on the nose....changes every 20 mins....no off putting or out of balance qualities. Strawberries, dust, mushrooms, tartness...20 mins later fruit disappears and tar comes in with pronounced tannins....20 mins later tannins soften and fruit comes back. will bottle age and enjoy!

Dinner at Andrea's (Andrea's Restaurant): Nose of tar and oak, after a bit of air some fruit emerged. Tasted a little out of wack to me. Very tannic. In need of cellar time, may come together, but I am not sure. Not my style. Not drinking well at present time.

Deeper ruby in the glass, bit of barnyard on the nose, red pinot fruit, medium bodied, bit of depth, nice, try more from this producer
