  No real change from September note. Still drinking well with a pleasant cherry pie impression.

  (2+) Drank 3 bottles at the Melting Pot for my birthday with Mom, Dennis & Bob. Very nice Pinot Noir - not outstanding but would definitely drink again. Opened up a little with 15-20 minutes of air.

  Seems to be comming back into form. Pale ruby, but no longer hazy. Nose has developed spice charactor like cherry pie. The tart flavors are mellowing and the texture has turned a nice silk. Good balance.
