Previous bottle definitely cooked/spoiled. Very nice bright garnet color, no bricking. Solid Pinot cherries and sour cherries. Clean, but short finish.

Possibly corked - definite bricking at rim. Color was weak for a Pinot, a light purple. Heat dominated the nose and palate, even after a 30+ minte decant and pour through a respirer. Took another 20-30 minutes before any fruit (strawberry) came forward, and it was weak. No complexity at all. Drink now.

Cherry and some raspberry on the nose. Palate has tart cherry and cola predominating. Decent

Still rocking, this was more cranberry than raspberry like the first couple of bottles. An excellent bottle of pinot.
