Thought it might be over the hill but it's perfect right now, big nose of spice, black cherry, oak, and forest floor, loads of fruit on the palate, cassis and bing cherry, long finish, terrific with wild mushroom pasta and winter veggies, amazing with sheepy cheeses. A glass was left over to the next day, by which time the nose had acquired simply amazing perfume, the Chanel No. 5 of pinots. You could fall in love.

Pretty much a pop and pour. A really strong earthy component on the nose that opens up into a cherry kirsch aroma. Hints of leather and cedar are also present. The red fruits really open in the mouth followed by more of the earthy qualities. A hint of heat on the finish initially but by glass two it had really developed into longer finish that was quite enjoyable. I'm glad I have more.

Very nice wine. Great nose. Consistent wine from vintage to vintage. Great QPR.

This wine is drinking well right now. I really enjoy this wine. Aroma gives lots of hints as to what is in the bottle.

Very nice bottle. Nose really opens up with time in the glass. Similar to previous notes.
