When opened, oak overpowered the nose and especially on the palette. Blew off after 20 minutes or so to leave red fruit, dried fruit, hints of leather. Definitely past its prime but still drinkable, though lots of sediment. Inky color and deep flavors for a PN.

Color: medium purple. Aroma: light fruit; some oak; sweet corn; jam. Taste: good fruit and oak, but not overpowering; smooth, low tannins but with some acidity at finish. Still very drinkable in late 2006. Pleasant Pinot; would purchase again.
