A much better showing for this split compared to the previous one opened a year ago. Clear ruby/magenta in color. On the nose, perfumed five spice, candied red cherries & raspberries, dried florals that over time turns more savory/earthy. Medium bodied palate shows sweet-sour crushed red berries, hint of savory brown stock, dark tea leaves, good acidity and a long perfumed finish.

From split. Medium ruby-magenta in color. Initially fragrant aromas of crushed red fruits and spice fades away to a more muted nose that shows a hint of savory, earthy aromas. Palate shows a mix of red currants, sour cherries, savory brown spices, good acidity and a clipped earthy finish. Meh.., this bottle.

Very fragrant nose of dark cherry and wild raspberries, and red currants. Very fresh and electric on the palate which is a nice surprise at 9 years of age. Cherries, raspberry, a touch of cough syrup. Tannins completely gone with juice juice left over. Delicate finish of rose water.
Cherry fruit with earth, floral and iron notes. Good acidic spine and fresh finish. This seems plenty young but interestingly did not change over three hours.

Good quality mid weight Pinot. Nice mix of strawberry fruit and earthy, forest floor flavors.
