  This was a very nice but perplexing wine. I have had several Aubert Pinots from multiple vintages. This was somewhat confounding. Absolutely nothing wrong with this bottle but seemed somewhat muted compared to other bottles. Most have been quite distinctive and made in an old world style. This was heavier, earthier, more fruit forward with an emphasis on darker fruits, blackberry, plum and cassis. Very smooth, more full bodied than other Aubert offerings. A great accompaniment to New Years Day traditional ham and hoppin john dinner.

  What a difference from the last bottle (which I'm now thinking might have been off somehow). Beautiful from the first sip and got better from there. Well-balanced with distinct but complementary layers of fruit and nice acidity. Tannins nicely resolved, and no astringency as I found with the earlier bottle. A real pleasure.

  Perfect stage now. Opened well after 1 hour. Still some floral bouquet on the nose and deep current with raspberry and chocolate on the front pallet. Just a hint of earth and rosemary on the secondary pallet and back nose. Tannins are well integrated now. Will be curious to see how the 750ml compares to this magnum.

  Wild red raspberry, dense, rich with distinct notes of forest floor, sage and rosemary. Amazingly fresh for a domestic Pinot noir that has seven plus years in the bottle. Very well made.

  Classic aubert evolving style.First phase of aromatics included earth, potato, and a touch of green onion after swirling a lot. Second phase started evolving into aromatics of fruit including blueberries, blackberries, a touch of rhubarb, Tea. Then all of a sudden aromatics had spearmint added and that was experienced by all three people. Try to hold off drinking for at least fifteen minutes, swirl and enjoy aromatics. Next we went to tasting and we tasted lots of wonderful velvety blueberryAnd blackberry and spice. Delicious and elegant.
