  Have always like Mt Mary pinot. Don't think this will improve from here, has developed some nice complexity, tannins fully resolved and the pinot fruit has softened giving way to some lovely secondary flavours. Lots of fine sediment, even after decanting and felt this was at its best quite soon out of the bottle with little air time. Time to drink these up I think.

  See my previous notes.
  
  This was the best bottle yet. 20min double-decant and cool-down (next time remember to stand bottle for a few hours, the fine sediment is really difficult to decant out). Very vibrant, holding up well in the riedel sommelier burgundy glass and drunk over 4hrs. Density improved - very lush albeit not super complex and with a fairly short finish. Very good for what it is, although my impression may be skewed by the amazing low price my cases were purchased for.

  Consistent with my previous note, really enjoyable stuff that holds up well in the glass - needs 30-45min double decant and cool down. Make sure to stand bottles for a few hours, lots of fine sediment. Drink in next 3yrs.

  Halfway through a case, but first note. Needs 30-45min decant to open up, the is marked by stewed strawberries with some nice secondary and tertiary mushroom and forest floor. Not a burgundy, just a bright, rich and refreshing red fruity mature Pinot. Fruit is fading but this will still drink well for a couple more years.

  lacked a bit of fruit but still balanced and good length and sweetness.
