First tasted this wine in March ‘23. Plenty of acid, fairly strong tannins-still get strong Asian spice , clove and black fruit, long full finish that spiciness lingers on the palate. Need to decant an hour+. Should age nicely-looking forward to tasting again in a year-

Scents of Asian spice, bay leaves . Pretty full bodied Pinot -decanted one hour-needs plenty of air . Big Pinot , red and blue fruit with a whiff of smoke. Denser/darker than Gaps Crown. Long finish -pairs perfectly with rotisserie chicken-should continue to age in the cellar nicely next several years-

Similar fruit and weight as last bottle (7/2) but pierced with a rough acidity. slightly out of balance.

Big but balanced
A good mix of red fruits and more earthy elements.
Some caramel and a burnt cherry note on the back end
