  Maturing black fruit, slightly floral, minty, and faintly earthy. Overall good balance and good enough weight. Easy and charming. Drink now through 2026 or so.

  Very interesting. I would have pegged this as a Syrah if I didn't know it was Pinot. Meaty and peppery flavors. Very carnal but did not showcase the finer flavors Pinot can provide.

  PnP. A very strange Pinot. Much darker than normal. Initially shy on the nose and palate. Later a good dose of black cherry with some herbs and spices (tea-like). Nominal finish, but enhanced after one hour with some blackberry notes. Almost as if some Syrah had been blended into this. Nevertheless, a decent drink but likely at or slightly beyond peak.

  Tastes of wild cherry cough drops rather than the nice Pinot Noir the previous bottles were. There was no complexity at all. I have no idea why this bottle is so different other than it has a bit more time in the cellar.
