Wine tired and past it's best before date. Showing signs of being a bit under ripe with greenness and no real redeeming flavours. Now showing burnt caramel flavours and overaged attributes.

Exquisite Oregon Pinot Noir from a great vintage. A dense coloured, rich ripe berry fruit with fresh flavours and niice fine grained tannins, a wine with plenty of life left.

French Soul, Oregon Soil...it says on the back. What a great combo. Oregon's weight, briary fruits, and earthiness married with the elegance and minerality of France. The price tag is steep, but worth the splurge for an anniversary. It took a while for this wine to open up, but it kept improving...putting on weight and complexity. A bit of initial funkiness on the nose blew off. Smooth, Long finish. The only flaw is that the fruit seems to be starting to dry out a bit, but I still like that. Great 10 year old wine. Recommend drinking now, or hold short term.

Sadly this wine has gone past it's prime at this point. Not much on the nose, sour and flat on the palate.
