This needed 2 hours of air. Then, nose of raspberry, cherry and flowers with medium intensity and a delightful 45 second finish. Not complex but enjoyable. Better in 3 years.

Light aromatics, slightly floral with a hint of red cherry.
Flavor is smooth, round, mild acidity late. At first, it tended toward a bit prune and raisin, but after 2 hours the notes feel more balanced. Violet, touch of red berry, then to a darker cherry note and a subtle tannin or 2 on the finish. I like the touch of dried fruit but it is not overpowering after the wine had time.
Solid and not sure how much longer it has to develop.

Better than 1st bottle. Simple but lithy and easy to drink, ripe dark pinot fruit but not pruney or stewed. Makes me think 1st bottle may have been cooked.

Plain. Lack of aroma and depth. Not recommended.

Pnp; a little pruney, mostly stewed red fruit, tanin resolved, seemed a little lackluster, didnt have the liveliness I'd expect from an 09.
