Undoubtedly past its prime, but still enjoyable. Rather lightweight, lean and a bit thin, and with bright acidity. Dried fruit flavors of cranberry, cherry and strawberry along with some tea and earth.

Blind Tasting on a Saturday Night (Woodley Park - Washington, DC): Aromas show dried roses, stewed fruit compote and even a hint of orange peel. Fresh acid on the palate and very soft tannins. Flavors of dried cranberry and raspberry mix with pickle and brine notes. Probably a little past it's peak, but still quite interesting.

Light color. Strawberry, earth, some good juiciness. Tasted blind, guessed Cru Beaujolais or Bourgogne-Passetoutgrains with a little age on it, but was surprised it's as old as 2001.

Tasted blind. Nose of cherry, some earth,pepper. Palate of cherry, leather, dill pickle, pepper. Finish was above average in length, good structure. brought this wine, so knew what it was.

Mature black cherry aromas with some oak spice and a bit of forest floor. Similar flavor profile, also mature on palate, at about the expected degree for a good 2001 Willamette Pinot, but prob a year or three past its peak. Similar to another bottle from earlier this year.
