  Opened for 8h. Aromas of earth, a bit of barnyard, cherry and a bit of wet cardboard. Palate w nice cherries, bark, wet cardboard, minerals. Unfortunately, this is mildly corked but nice material underneath. Ripe fruit as befits the vintage but no way overdone w some elegance.

  Just got it, so I cracked one. Super primary. This is a big wine - not shy , but pretty packed to the gills. The fruit is bright and blue-purple with blackberry, black raspberry and a touch of blueberry. There is some nice spice here and a bit of florals. Definite graham cracker sweetness and it is lively. A touch of orange zest. Again, on the palate, this is a big wine - tons of dark fruits, a dollop of citrus, graham cracker. This isn't light and elegant Pinot, and maybe verges on being a tad big for me, but it does have some lift, good acid, and crunch. Honestly I can't tell if this is just really young or if it is a bit modern for me. Nice drying tannins in the finish go with the dark fruits and the florals. I've been drinking some of Marcus Goodfellow's Pinots lately and for the price, his style is more in my wheelhouse than this right now, but it is still quite good for the price and could have a lot of potential if it expands and develops with air or age. Nose - 5/6, Palate - 5+?/6, Finish - 4.5+?/6, Je ne Sais Quoi - 1/2 = 15.5/20 (with 15.5-16.5/20 potential).
  
  Day 4: this has finally opened up. It’s still big but the fruit has come out over the acid and the structure and it’s really enjoyable and juicy now. Nice plushness and a bit of seve. Fine drying tannins still on the finish. Very good QPR. Now probably a 16/20.
