somewhat disappointing.....this may be the oldest bottle I have opened which has a plastic cork and I thought the wine was a tad off. Even after breathing for an hour there was still this odd aftertaste. Not corked, not (I think) due to excessive bottle age. It really felt like it had been hidden away from the atmosphere to it's disadvantage. A certain wildness to the bottle

Popped and poured into reidel stems. Deep garnet in color with lots of earth and mushroom on the nose. Medium bodied and balanced with a bit of a clipped finish. Actually better than I expected. Wish their had been more fruit though.

Was overpriced. Very heavy in tannins upon initial opening. Softened and got better after breathing for an hour, but still harsh. Might age well.

Strange finish spoiled an otherwise ok pinot.
