Was very light red out of the bottle but darkened very quickly with air. Very nice pinot with light cola, tea and cherry fruit. Nicely balanced but with a firm backbone.

This has transitioned from the massive fruit of early years. There is still nice black and blue fruit, but the secondary elements have entered the picture, with earth tones added. Much more subdued but still a beauty.

Very big and bold from the outset; it is way too young at this point; major black fruit dominance with an intensity to suggest it is about 6-8 years from any degree of maturity; this is certainly not close to being integrated which is surprising since I had this wine a few times in the past year and it seemed to be coming around; NOT.

First Coravin test. Siphoned one glass at end of February. Then another early March, then opened and finished April 14. Preserved perfectly!

Raspberry and cola linger on the nose. Velvet texture of cherry and slight earthiness. Interesting secondary qualities. Time to enjoy.
