Drinking the Sonoma Coast Pinot for my birthday. It's 6 yrs beyond the drinking window and it's still full of life. Deep red, no water line or bricking. Brambles, menthol and roasted cherry fruit. Medium to full body. Long finish. Drinking at its peak.

Needs about 30 minutes of air for the fruit to show but still drinking wonderfully. Solid red fruits are still showing and complimented by secondary earthy notes.

Yummy. Still lively. Nose is a bit darker fruit and veggies than I would have expected. Freakin' meaty palate as a result of vigorous oral agitation. Beets, vanilla, cocoa, with a tightness suggesting plenty of time for evolution. Happy birthday........

So glad we gave this wine 2+ hours of bottle aeration after 30 minutes in decanter. Initial overripeness on nose gave way to somewhat more balanced character, but still in bolder, more fruit-forward style than 2011 Aubert served side-by-side. This style is what it is, not sure that more bottle age will change it. Decant like you would a bold Napa Cab of similar age.

黑樱桃、黑李子、甘草、丁香和雪松木的香气,浓郁而丰富。入口圆润,中段饱满,收尾也很干净。酸度很高,所以并没有失去必要的清新感。
