Most of 5he flavor is on the back end now. Dark sour cherry, some cranberry, and some earthiness. Enjoyable but this bottle is maybe a touch past its prime. Better with food than by itself.

A great deal of barnyard funk upon opening, and for the first hour of decanting. Sweetness and a deep berry liqueur flavor (rich strawberry, dark cherry) emerged at the hour mark and remained steady. At two hours some secondary flavors, notably a bit of licorice, came out. Medium acidity and well-balanced with lighter tannins. I had written this wine off some time ago, but it surprised me, and was quite good. Seems like it has time left, but at the same time, may be drinking at its peak.

Fantastic Oregon Pinot, drinking beautifully right now. Deep, intense, slightly sour cherry flavors with lavender and rose petal on the finish. A sexy bottle of wine.

Very good. Probably at it’s peak. Don’t think it will improve any more with time.
