At first it just seemed tight, like some air would open it up a bit, so I decanted it for an hour, but that just brought out the tannins. Doesn't seem corked, but this is not the wine I remember; leaving unrated.

Wonderful bottle - this came together beautifully. It scored very high in a blind Pinot tasting among friends this week - among eleven other very strong competitors I might add - from France to New Zeland and places in between.

I scored this so high because it really was a very well put together bottle. All facets were clean and true. The color was a rich dark maroon. The nose was a strong briar fruit with no funk, or off-scents. The palate was a nice balance of leather with a medicinal finish. The finish was totally clean with good length. No rough edges and no off notes, a very nice bottle.

16th Annual Lyon 10 Year Retrospective (Same Old Place): Medium everything: color, nose, depth, length, and balance. Literally nothing stood out and sometimes that's good! Just a very nice taste o' Pinot.
