I agree with my tasting note of a year ago, still tasting great, not fading yet !! This cork was barely saturated, about 1/10 of the way up the cork, removed cleanly. Consumed over two days. A very balanced flavorful Pinot Noir from a fabled vineyard in the Southern Santa Maria County. This age worthy wine may have more years of life left. I still have one bottle of this vintage remaining and will open in another year or so to validate my tasting note.

A real credit to perfect provenance, this bottle sang from the get-go. Notes of red fruit wrapped in a blanket of spice and some earthy notes. Great purity and texture.

Cork saturated about 1/3 up, removed intact after a decade in the bottle. Consumed over two days, fruit more predominant on the first day, but shined on day two. Ruby color with little to no oxidation, clarity medium. Aromas of red fruit, fresh fig, and green tea, flavors of black cherry cola, and raspberry compote with a medium finish. More integrated and soft on day two. A very balanced flavorful Pinot Noir from a fabled vineyard in the Southern Santa Maria County. This age worthy wine may have more years of life left.
