  93+ aging gracefully to say the least. Color moving to brick orange, medium acidity. A bit of mushroom and earth on the nose. Palate of the same with a touch of dried red fruit holding on. Medium finish. Very nice example of mid term aged Pinot from the wilamette valley.

  Still tight on opening, opened out over several hours. Light, v spicy with good balanced acidity. Blind would have said Burgundy. Great wine

  Terrific Pinot, with bright crunch red fruit, spices and dried earth on the nose, palate has decent purity, medium plus acidity, with a really elegant body and mouth feel

  Probably the bottle of 11 I've enjoyed most so far, loaded nose of fresh, bright pure red fruit with subtle spice and earth mix, similar palate with medium acidity help keep the flavours fresh and lively

  Leo's Blind Tasting Group - May '15 edition (The Kitchen at Grove): Really liked this. Such bright, sappy red fruit here - incredibly fresh and vibrant, and tinged with sweeter floral and herbal notes, with a faint savoury earthy element developing with some air. There's some fine grained tannin on the back end, and also a bright spine of acidity beneath that keeps it very lively. Was guessing Burgundy on this one, and another surprise when unveiled.
