  Consistent with last note albeit perhaps a bit of fade since the prior bottle. I'd drink up if I had more. I had a '21 William Selyem right after that made this seem a bit tired in retrospect (not fair given age profiles but definitely gave some perspective).

  A touch frsher and more complex than the 5/28/22 bottle.

  Well made Sonoma Pinot Noir. Dark fruit, cherry cola, etc. A very classy wine that will please a crowd but it is almost over-refined. Lacks a bit of character. This is in a perfect place for what it is but I would drink up.

  Opened about 45 minutes prior to dinner. There was some effervescence immediately after pouring which took about 5 to 10 minutes to dissipate. By the last pour of the bottle it was no longer present.
  
  Strawberry and floral flavors are prominent. Still fresh with a decent finish. This was a delicate Pinot.
  Although this is still drinking well I would drink up any remaining bottles sooner than later.
