  Amazingly this still had aromas of fig and black cherry along with pan grille and garrique/ wild herbs (thyme and celery). Medium bodied with a silky mouthfeel. There is a nuttiness from the oak influence that arrives over time and delightfully smooth fish. An amazing CA pinot at 23 years old.

  Did not decant- it needed about thirty min in glass to open. The fruit for the most part is gone which leads to noticeable heat on the finish. This wasn't a bad wine but was past its prime. I would drink soon.

  Deep red purple; nose of red raspberry and menthol; alcohol a little clumsy and detracting on palate but spicy tannins and concentration of fruit win out eventually
