  Most enjoyable Pinot I've had in a while. From magnum and very much alive. Taking on an aged profile but fruit is still there (dark cherry) along with strong spiced profile. Medium bodied, reasonable length on the finish. Thanks Shane T!

  Terrific showing, and in perfect shape at 15 years old. Starting to display signs of development and complexity, and I would have rated this higher if it weren't for the medium finish and lack of complexity, say, vs. top 1er and grand cru Burgundy of this age. Clearly well made, with dark cherry, oak spice/baking spices. Clearly new world, and with the right food this will shine. Confirms that new world pinot noir can go the distance as I suspect this has another 5-7 years in the tank before a real decline.

  This is in a really good place, still showing plenty of fruit and a strong structure, but starting to present some aged notes. Strong aromas of dark cherry, chocolate, and nutmeg. dark fruit, river rock minerality, little bit of marmite umami and dried herbs. Plenty of acidity and well behaved tannins lead to a long finish. drink or hold.

  Delicious dark red cherry and black berry aromas and flavors with tertiary mineral and earth notes culminating in a long finish with wonderful sour cherries and acidity. Simply lovely!
