Fruit forward, with notes of cherry, strawberry, and spices transitioning to some grassy notes and some minerality, with oak influence apparent on the finish. 13.3% ABV. Holding up well at 13 years old.

My recollection of this from 10 years ago that it was heavy on oak, somewhat monolithic, and toward the heavy body spectrum. While the bouquet now reminds me of the same wine, the oak has largely receded except on the finish, and this has a lively mouthfeel. Well done!

In a really good place. PnP, no need to decant. aromas of black fruit, raspberry, pepper, herb, and earth. Still loaded with flavor. Medium bodied. Blackfruit, plum, raspberry, spice, herb, pepper, and earth flavors.. smooth , silky tannins in the long finish. Very good now, not sure it will improve, but I see no decline in the near future.

Elegant nose, fresh and spicy. On the palate a very velvety, red fruit dominated character. Outstanding Pinot at its peak.
