Drinking very well now. Wonderful Pinot aroma upon opening. Raspberry/red cherry, vanilla. Smooth. Great mouth feel. balanced. Medium long finish. No heat. Acidity has mellowed.

Popped and poured. Nose of red raspberry, cherry cola, spice, vanilla. On the palate, bing cherry, red raspberry, cola, spice, black tea. Finishes with soft tannins and biting acidity. This probably should have slept a couple more years, but was still excellent. Drink or hold. Great value.

Similar score as last bottle. Acidity improved with this bottle, but this bottle had an effervescence to it that was in the way at first. Nice after it blew off.

The initial effervesence blew off within 15 minutes in the glass. Fortunately the nice fruit and quality structure made this a pleasant experience. Well done and a fine value.
