Decanted for 30 minutes. Deep purple color. Not much aroma. Concentrated, intense blackberry flavor with spice and astringent tannins. Clearly well-made, quality pinot noir but it did not come together in a way that was enjoyable to me. Perhaps it needs more time or a longer decant.

Tasted on day 2. Floral notes on the nose. Round cranberry fruit. Some crunch kicks in the mid palate. Nice balance. Some black tea. Medium plus finish. Drinking nicely but still plenty of life.

Tasted on day 3. Some violet notes on the nose. Some crunchy red berry fruit. High toned fruit. Medium plus acid provides nice balance. Good persistence.

Tasted after 1 hour of air. Round red berry fruit. Some crunch. Nice balance. Plenty of lift on mid palate. Drying finish. Very nice.
