  Consistent with previous bottle - tasty, but declining. Can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Good, basic Pinot, and mature, with nice clean tertiaries, but just not a terroir to yield more than that. Lacking specificity, and minerality. Very good.

  This is just beginning the downhill slide, but still tasty - no signs of oxidation or imbalance. Pure, varietally correct, earthy, bright, ripe red fruited flavors, with a bit of tannic bite showing up at the last sip. While well made, mature and tasty, the terroir here (or something) is such that this just doesn't do much other than satisfy. Just not much nuance or detail. Should I be looking for more? Well made, well stored, but basic - nothing more.
