  Decanted for four hours. This is a full-bore, big Pinot, and I loved it. Everything is in balance: acid, depth, tannins all surrounding a juicy core of fruit. For my palate this still has a good future ahead of it.

  My last '03, was saving to maybe do a verticle of Blue Slide but decided to serve at a dinner party. Decanted for about 1 hour and served at cellar temperature. The wine was ruby in color and with red fruit in the nose and cherry and currant on the palate. I think the wine had last a little fruit and may be on the downside of its drinking window.

  Fruit still holding, but don't wait too long. Palate is hot from 15+% etoh. Nice wine, but I'm getting away from the hot aggressive style Cali pn's. Not at all elegant. Drink w food that will stand up to it.
