Decanted due to a crumbled cork. Initially, this seemed like it was more advanced than I expected. Over time, it found polish and energy. A very nice, mostly mature Pinot.

Round tannins and vanilla oak notes with some bright fruit on the front that quickly shifts into some mineral and secondary green notes. On the finish some alcohol seems to show up but not in an ideal way. Not my favorite style of Pinot.

medium red color, ripe mixed berry fruit aromas expanding over time, medium weight, good amount of earthy cherry fruit, low acidity, very smooth medium length finish.

Read some other CT notes prior to posting this, past prime my ass... Thick legs and pretty opaque, a deep garnet showing some age at the brim. Ripe cherries with raspberry, vanilla, slight cola, a touch of spice and cedar on the nose. This is hitting stride after a good 4 hours out, its singing nicely. Dark cherries all day on the front transitioning to assertive acidity on the mid-palate where the spiced notes kick up. Smooth medium(+) finish leaving me wanting more. Its focused, and its velvety, there's an elegance. I'll miss it. My 92.
