Really nice old world nose with bacon, pepper, leather. On the palate there wasn't much fruit going on with a little cherry cola, coffee, and white & black pepper going on. Very complex, above average finish but just wanted a little more fruit to push this higher. Most people thought this maybe a ringer as it didn't seem as if it fit a pinot profile. (89)

Pinot Noir Blind Tasting @ Planet Wine (Planet Wine - Alexandria, VA): White and black pepper...with jalapeno's. Lots of spicy pepper. There was also a lot of leather, tobacco, herbs and coffee too. I also pulled out some bloodiness, clove and mint on the mid-palate. Very complex wine that was showing very well. Great bottle!

Dull red in color, with the slightest amount of tawniness on the edge. Rich, red berry nose and plush raspberry flavors on the palate. Medium bodied with a long, velvety finish. Surprisingly nice for an older KB; I have more and am looking forward to them in the short term.

Beautiful color, great nose and full body with a long finish. Wish I had more.
