Nicely resolved, lots of fruits and earthy spice. Cherries emerged on the palate after a half hour and the long, balanced finish brought us back for more. Not consistent with others' notes so I will see how the next bottle is before taking a firmer stance.

Slight musty-ness upon opening and not much of a nose or finish so initially concluded this was beyond its peak. However, over the course of 1-2 hours this really evolved into a beautiful and elegant pinot with a wonderful fragrant nose and a long cherry finish.

A difficult wine to love - there is a long. long finish and very nice fruit, but a disturbing roughness persists in this bottle. Hopefully, it's an aberration because there is much to like here.

Fading fruit with nicely supporting earthy and spice flavors made this a nice bottle, but less than I had hoped for.

Very much alive but took several hours after opening to really appreciate the depth of this wine.
