(Phillips Hill Toulouse Pinot Noir) #1; COLOR-dark; NOSE-really nice "Garden" action; pretty raspberry; celery stick; cabbage; hints of powdered chocolate mix; little tight; TASTE-this is ripping good; very Burgundian on the mouthfeel; gorgeous cherry cola flavors on the mid-palate; really pretty blend of red & black fruit (beautiful raspberries & cherries, but then loaded on the back-end w/ black currant and some raisin on the end); very pretty, very focused, very floral; 2+ minute finish; I'm in love w/ this wine; bringing serious thunder; I'm completely taken aback by the overall explosiveness of this wine; the richness, the depth; the Old World love (Anderson Valley); the New World love; this has everything to be a very classic Pinot; an absolutely tremendous bottle of Pinot Noir; WE-91; GV-94

If you still have one, open it now and drink it within 60 minutes. It fades into an alcoholic mess, but on open is rather nice.

Outstanding as always.
Big style Pinot Noir.
Lovers of Anthill will totally enjoy this too.

Took to dinner with a friend who was visiting. Wine was served a little chilled which lead to the aromatics being a little subdued initially. As the wine warmed up, you get quite a bit of red fruit and a touch of floral. Quite dark in colour and quite fruit forward but not as heavy as some of Cali big-boy PN. It actually carried the 14.7% alcohol quite well. Not an overly complex wine and nice but I prefer Burgundy and this would not be mistaken for a Burgundy. My friend liked it - I gave him a choice of this and a 2000 Chateau Fombrauge St Emilion GC and he chose this.

Not decanted.
Impressive weighty "big-boy" PN with excellent red fruits.
As awesome as some Kosta's and AntHill's I have enjoyed.

I thought this bottle must be off. Sour, bitter in the mid palate.
