  Concentrated dark fruit and tobacco. Remarkably long finish with refined tannins. As good as it is, likely to be better in the coming decade.

  Maybe just my bottle but not up to what my expectation was. Little over extracted, even stewed dark fruit, moderate tannin and fading acidity.

  Definitely a better bottle than the last, especially the aromatics. Purplish-garnet, glass-staining viscosity, expressing lovely initial scents of red berries, iron, and licorice that evolve to more earthy and complex tones. The palate is not as intense and effusive as the nose but offers a pleasing, supple sweetness with a hint of bitterness that appears with certain foods. Though the flavor impression lacks complexity and persistence, the wine drinks well now, yet has plenty of life remaining, and represents a great current value.

  very nice, red to dark red fruit, full minus body (at least for a pinot), good acidity for lift (and to fight the dark fruit and full minus body)... my son Andy said it well -- "perfectly balanced"... he tasted blind and interestingly thought it might be a cab (like an old Ridge Monte Bello)... the good news is that is wasn't brutish (like some '05's we've had, particularly a few years ago and before)... happy that the '05's are finally coming around a bit

  Opened 3 hours earlier and brought in voss. Bouquet of roses, unriped cherries, walnut skin, cherry pith. Palate showed warmth and ripeness but still pretty balanced vintage. Cherry liquer and plums slightly dominant on the palate. Good structure and density with tannins sturdy and stubborn but not grippy. Was not blown away and perhaps still needs a bit more time?
