Forgot I had two bottles. Not an expensive wine but quite tasty I got a lot of stewed strawberry.Typical color of a 15-year-old Pinot Noir but surprising that it still has balance and is not flat at all.It had a quick decant. There was no sediment. The wine is your typical mid purple color and Medium to light viscosity. Had it 2 days later and was smoother. Drink now as do not know over the hill date. Drinks like a $50 bottle. Not very long in length though.

Smooth, easy drinking OR pinot. A little acidic at first but opened up to a solid bouqet of berry and flower after about 45 minutes. Pretty surprised this wine has gone this long but shows no sign of age.

Treated this like a cheap wine - opened (unscrewed) and began drinking almost immediately. Big mistake, because after about 30 to 45 minutes, it began to open up. Thin at first, it became fairly plush and velvety. Smokey dark cherries. Very smooth (minimal tannins), with a decent finish. Great QPR (AKA bang-for-the-buck).

(tasting note from a day later-sorry it's sparse on detail.) Color: Ruby Nose: Some florals. Strawberry. Not a very strong nose. On the palate: A lighter style, with minimal spice. It is pleasing and varietally correct. A simple and lighter expression of Pinot. Minimal soft tannins. A great weeknight quaff.
