Medium- intense nose of cloves, wet cedar, cranberry, red cherry, fresh clay, cooked jasmine rice.
On the palate cranberry, strawberry, cedar, with some red apple skin in the finish.
Medium alcohol, medium- body, medium acidity. There’s some thinness in the mid palate accentuating some roughness of the tannins, leading to a mouth drying sensation after swallowing.
Dark fruits have subdued over the years revealing some interesting notes on the nose but it doesn’t seem to carry over to the palate. There isn’t enough complexity in the mid palate.
Edit: as the wine warmed up, it started to unfurl with more cherry and menthol notes. The wine put on some weight as well.

Did not care for the wine, did not even finish. Was my bottle an outlier or just not a good pinot?
