An impressive showing - the extra year in the cellar since my last bottle has served this wine well. An intriguing blend of sour cherries, cinnamon, and baking spices with a quite complimentary earthy/dirty quality. Broad and suave on the palate with an expansive finish. A nice example given last year's showing and the expectations. (92)

A decent wine that I enjoyed very much that paired well with roasted duck, but it lacked the intensity that one might expect in a New World pinot and it lacked the complexity one might expect in an Old World pinot. While not quite one dimensional, it primarily consisted of red fruit (berries) with a little spice and smoke.

Hot night in Chicago. Opened and let sit in glass, musty start, developed quite nicely with a good finish
