When I first started my journey down the rabbit hole that is pinot noir, I did a tasting at Lemelson and really liked it. Four years later, my tastes have improved (or at least changed) and I'm less impressed. Moderate to moderate plus complexity and finish. I'm also noticing the alcohol bite (it's 14.1) more than I used to.
It's certainly nice and a well-made wine, but nothing special. For a few dollars more, there are other wine I now prefer (Chanin comes to mind).

I have to say I’m disappointed. I had the 2014 several years ago and loved it. This is my first of the 2015s, and I’m underwhelmed. It lacks depth and complexity, and the finish is medium at best. Maybe it’s still too young? I’m going to hold off on my remaining bottles for a while.

Too boring. Already feels like it is passed it's prime
Cuvee X and theas selection seems like a better choice

Well balanced and clean but not as much depth as I would have liked. Very medium all around.

Oak dominates. Still too young.
