  This wine stood the test of time amicably. Just a hint of sediment on the neck and a pronounced 3mm miniscus turning into a clear rim indicates the fatty rich palate. Plum and blue fruit quickly turn more into the red spectrum with cherry and a hint of strawberry compote and cola. The wine posses clear PN character and is surprisingly delicate in spite of the rich and sappy mouth feel. Some nice exotic spice on the back end with perhaps a touch more wood influence then warranted but in no way offensive. Enjoyed with hearty food over several hrs and somewhat surprised at how fast it was drained, always the best indicator. In the zone - time to enjoy

  Cork broke, but still fantastic juice. No formal notes.

  Really nice pinot! Even all these years later this beauty was really good! This wine was a beautiful medium dark ruby color. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It's aromas included red fruit like cherry and strawberry. It's flavors included cherry and strawberry. This pinot had nice, medium body and a beautiful silky texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has low acidity.

  We had friends over last night for dinner. As we were hosting I took no notes. From memory. Completely integrated and in its peak drinking window. Fresh fruit with dark berry notes. Good to Very Good.
