Very balanced and somewhat fruit forward with toast. Strawberries, no evidence of tannins. Nice Pinot. Cola and fruit on the nose. Really at a good spot now. So good in that when analyzing it on the palette the balance is there and it gave me shivers or made the skin prick up. When that happens it’s a life-changing wine to be remembered. Or it could just be a good or great bottle. See how this evolves. This bottle is definitely not past it’s prime.

Dark red with significant clear edge, mostly cherry nose, spicy cherry fruit, smooth with a bit of sweetness (not cola), finish was smooth with no tannins evident.

Very good bottle of wine. Fully mature with lots of spice, red fruits, tertiary flavors, and resolved tannins. Lots of acidity on first pour which dissipated after 30 minutes. The alcohol was a little out of balance and still was present after some air. Overall very good mature pinot with an old-world sensibility but the balance is what kept my score down.

Incredible division on this bottle, with about half the crowd finding it undrinkable. I was in the half that enjoyed it. Black cherry cola, with a slight fizziness that really did make it seem like a cola that had been opened for a few hours. Past its prime by a few years, but still enjoyable. That said, I wouldn't go out and buy any of it.

Popped and poured. Honestly feel this is now over the hill. Should have drank within 5-6 years. Average fruit, no finish at all.
