Nicely evolved and still quite viable after 25 years. The color is slightly tawny but still more healthy that many young Pinots that aren't doctored with some Syrah or mega red. The nose is classic and wonderful. The balance is quite nice and the finish excellent. Have another bottle or two that I am going to brown bag for friends. Should be fun discussion. FYI this bottle was less than 1/4 inch below the cork and cellaring has been from the bottling line to the warehouse to my cellar at 58 degrees.

Not bad initially, but now really losing all vestiges of fruit and drying out. Still pleasant, but drink up.

Beautiful mature garnet colour and farmyardy nose. Palate mature with good fruit / acidity balance. Really lovely.
