Dinner at Our New Home (Our Place, Hong Kong): Dark crimson colour and totally opaque, which is a bit of a surprise given its age. Nose is distinctively New World assertive fruit...blackberry and raspberry.....still surprisingly fruit-driven and primary. Palate is fresh, refreshing, very well baanced, lots of nice layers of strawberry, raspberry...then some sous-bois, bit of smoke. Nice acidic poise. A really great palate. Finish is quite resonant and persistent....lovely light, chiffonesque fruit.. remniscent of fruit-flavoured mineral water - not dilute, just nicely light. A bit too primary compared to the Louis Jador Beaune 1er Cru Les Bucherottes we drank alongside it but otherwise very similar in lightness of weight.

Colour relatively fresh red with hint of brown in the edges. Smell of cherry, and lots of other smells difficult to find words for, but delicious. Taste complex and long lasting, dominated by cherry and red fruit. Almost no tannins, Should drink now! Very good and fresh, despite the age of 12 years. Will buy more!

Not as expressive as a recent 1999, some black cherry, espresso, still some tannic structure. B

Sat a few years too long but still pleasant. Cherry and raspberry fruit that has built a couple hours after decanting.

Ten Year Oregon Pinot Retrospective (02 and ealier) (Lou's): Bottle was over the hill. While not totally dead on the palate, it was maderized probably due to poor provenance.
