  Arrived late for dinner at Jade Palace. Popped and poured after I arrived. Bottle shape and style very much like a Torbreck. Needed the Durand to extract the cork.
  Appearance is clear, deep intensirty, garnet brown colour. Legs.
  Nose medium intensity, with aromas of mocha chocolate coffee, mushroomy earth, dark red cherry. Developed.
  On the palate, dry, medium+ acidity, medium alcohol (13.5%), medium tannins, medium+ body. Medium flavour intensity, with flavours of savoury mushrooms, earth, chocolate, mocha, coffee, salty minerality, and cola towards the finish. Medium+ finish.
  Very good quality. Tertiary and fruit already in the backseat but most certainly overall not dead. Commendable effort surviving this many years. Tastes like what it is - a very aged New World Pinot Noir. Rather enjoyable in a savoury tertiary mushroomy way.

  Surprisingly youthful and enjoyable! Black berry/cherry fruit remains with a terroir exposing nose of damp farm floor and mulled cranberry. Acidity stays youthful with playful tannin on the tip of the tongue. Impressive bottle tasted with TH.

  Tried some of this and found it to be flat and fairly boring. Not bad, just nothing interesting going on. Obviously was trying to be a Carneros style fruit-forward Pinot, and maybe it was a year or two ago, but it isn't now. Used it in a Beef burgundy stew where it was very good. Overpriced.
