This wine was a nice surprise, as I had some concerns about its longevity. But it was not only drinkable, it was actually quite lovely. Fragrant notes of macerated raspberries, brandied cherries, and fig, accented by milk chocolate and baking spices. A bit weighty on the palate, but it’s balanced out by its acidity. A stylish wine.

Stunning for its age, here lies a 17 year old Pinot Noir. Subtle cranberry without its tartness, strawberry dominant with a sweetness which can only be matched by aged Pinot Noir. It finishes with a melancholy creaminess that is rare in wine.
On day 2 the wine is even more creamy and resolved to just a strawberry flavor.
I love Andrews AP wines ! I wish he was independent and produci these again. Miss you man !

Drank over a week with a Coravin first and then out of the Btl. Very mature fruit, good color and depth. One of his better vintages.
