  Dark cherry coloring when poured. Notes of cherry followed by some earthiness; full bodied and incredibly smooth. Alas, last bottle.

  I love the 2000 vintage of this wine: In the past, I thought this year was more "ruby" than "garnet" in character (juicier vs. more ascetic). Now that this wine has aged for 21 years, it had an exceptional balance between Bing cherry and age-deepened characteristics of leather, blue cheese, and perfectly integrated oak. Phenomenal. I wish I had access to more Laurène from this vintage...drinking beautifully right now without decanting, though you might want to let the initial funk blow off (I liked it). Approaching perfection from any Pinot Noir regardless of place.

  Soft, but still very much alive and beautiful.

  pnp. cork perfect. color garnet with cola tint. totally mature spicy nose w some sous bois. swishing shows considerable remaining acid but there is some fruit underneath. sipping shows full maturity, and a little oak edge. not my favorite.

  2000 Willamette Valley Pinor Noir -- a 15 year Restrospective; 4/18/2015-4/20/2015 (Littel Bird): I thought this wine was corked but I couldn't get anyone to agree. Cardboard on the nose, lighter bodied, then chunky Muir Glenn Organic canned tomatoes. Bitter finish.
