Tart red/black cherry, cranberry, and strawberry fruit. Notes of cola, baking spice, cinnamon, and subtle earth. Still has some nice acidity to it on the long finish. Still drinking nicely after 9 years.

On opening, notes of cola, spice, and extracted dark fruit. After 30 mins, those extracted plum, blackberry, blueberry, black cherry flavours gave a nice round mouthfeel with a nice sweetness and spice. Supple tannin, with a mild and restrained oak finish.
Really enjoyed, and was glad to have purchased a second bottle.

Really has come around since my note of 2012. Elegance with delicious juicy fruit. Dark cherries and earthy forest meld perfectly with great texture. Good length, smooth, and very well balanced. Not the most complex but it's so well composed with great flavor and excellent pinot character. Excellent.
