A Night of Rochioli (Mostly West Block) (Classic Dallas): Some red brick shading toward garnet color. Very shy aromas and didn't perceive much. Palate with nice dried and fresh cherries, brown leaves, some medicinal herbs. Full but elegant body.

Popped and poured. Spicy, dusty cherry nose with a whiff of cherry cola. The palate is deep and robust, bright red fruit, medium acid. Soft finish as the the tannins are resolved.Having sampled a few of these 2001 Rochioli Pinots with age, my assessment is that this vintage is aging really well.

Lost in the cellar series. Cork was fine. Garnet color, not brick, but slightly opaque. Nose was savory fruit and black cherry, confirmed on the palate with complex savory flavors. Medium long finish. It had a lot of life left in the bottle.

Served at cellar temperature and decanted for an hour. Sexy nose, lots of depth with many herbs and spices alongside some big red and black fruit. Not at all tight, very giving and expressive. On the palate this unfurls some more and reveals some liquorice and undergrowth before finishing with some Asian spices. Drinking fantastically, not on the downslope at all.

limited notes - savory, slightly soda-pop-y, and still very much alive
