The wine opened with a lot of smoky and spicy red fruits- evolving into a damp earth, cedary spice box aroma. The wine is pretty full bodied, in the mouth the wine has a full mid-palate, giving into the full-gamey flavors that I really like to see in a pinot. Other flavors of plum, baking spices, and strawberries pile on top of old wood and wet forest floor. I still think this wine has some time left in the bottle, but I don't see the point in waiting- it's great and ready now.

Still very nice after another 3 years in the bottle. Beautiful nose of raspberries and lots of dried spices. This wine has a very distinct rose pedal nose that is uncommon in many PN. Mid palate has lost some of the punch but forest floor screams and screams.
Remember you drink the label.

Similar to last note, though a bit more faded.

Popped and poured, then drank over 2 hrs.

Still kicking, showing touches of earth on top of vibrant fruit with hints of wood.
