Note from 2nd day...corked on counter overnight. Tea and fig on the nose. Palate of currant and raisin (this flavor a little more dominant than on day 1) as well as tea and tobacco. Well balanced and delicious right now, but probably yet has opportunity to improve with a few more years.

Light red, a little cloudy. An unusual nose for a PN, pear/strawberry combo?! yet still with a pinot background. Astringent and austere in mouth, totally lacking in the hoped for velvety texture of pinot noir. I wonder if this was a wine from very young vines.

Blackberry, strawberry jam, and pencil shavings; this Pinot is decent, yet not dazzling.

Rich, ripe fruit, new-world style, medium depth and complexity. Very drinkable.

Pleasant fruit but not much complexity with short finish
