  not normally a pinot drinker. but this is nice big style that works for me. big floral nose, maybe some sandalwood with a nice full taste and medium-long finish. recommend decanting for 30-45 mins.

  Lovely red fruit with complex Pinot Noir essence throughout. Slightly spicy and slightly sweet. Smooth. Perfect level of acidity and fine tannins provide structure. Went great with dinner and by itself. This wine has character and everyone loved it. A perennial crowd pleaser and a staple in my cellar.

  Light ruby red, almost clear at rim. After 90 minute decant, a sweet nose infurls, of raspberry, cherries and candy floss with rose in the background. Medium body, with pleasing acidity and a lingering taste. Overall somewhat subdued, and while very enjoyable, needs to lay down for a while longer to get the most out of it. Much lighter in comparison to the 2019 - this really could use more time before I can give an appropriate rating. Wait another year at least before opening the next one, and drink the 2019 in the meantime.

  Opened at lunch. Dark red fruit on the nose. The palate was dark cherry, red plums, a little raspberry, sandalwood and hints of spice leading to a moderately long finish. Decanting would have raised the score.

  Decanted for 45 minutes prior to tasting, and consumed over the following 90 minutes.
  Medium dark magenta color; red fruit nose.
  
  Wow. This is a big Pinot!
  Intensely concentrated fruit, deep black and blue on the front end. A very savory mid-palate featuring violets and roast meat, along with hints of tobacco and spice box. This young wine has plenty of tannic structure, indicating that it is bullt for the long haul. I wouldn’t open a bottle for 3 or 4 more years. Lots of upside
