Very slight signs of age. Darker robust cherries, some coca nibs and touches of Asian Spice. Nice qualities. Palate shows some heat still and a bit of austerity. Still sporting a stiff backbone. Should age another 5-7.

Really nice lively fruit on the nose, and a surprisingly strong acid backbone throughout. But the finish disappoints, doesn't follow through on the early promise of fruit. Clearly in the high-end class, honestly made. Probably at its peak or even just past (early '15).

Pinot Days 2011 (Navy Pier - Chicago, IL): Biggest of the bunch. Age worthy. Really structured and spicy. Most Old World styled as well.
