  This was excellent. Earthy, cranberry, cherry, and nice balance. Long finish. In a great drinking window.

  Still alive a kicking but likely starting to decline. Heavier than expected with baked red/blue fruit, cloves, toasted vanilla and slight earthy funk. Still tasty but comes off very stewed and lacking freshness with only a trace of acidity on the finish. Drink now.

  13.5% alcohol. The extra two-and-a-half years did the trick. A beautiful, light Pinot. Moderate cherry color. Lovely nose of red and black cherry, ample earthiness, which I find is the Van der Kamp signature, and pretty floral notes. In the mouth, elegant, refined, and a building, compelling palate presence and finish. There was an understated aspect to the cherry fruit, floral notes, spice, and earth.

  Medium bodied Pinot with plum, cherry, herb, and earth. Van der Kamp seems to always just miss the mark with me.

  Ruby color with a terrific nose of bright cranberry and cherry along with earth and sous bois. Bright flavors that matched the nose along with some bitterness and stemmy-ness from the mid-palate thru the finish. I would not be surprised if there was some whole cluster fermentation. Medium weight and with a slightly thin texture, a firm structure and plenty of grip. It did take on some weight after about 30 minutes, but remained surprisingly tight and sharp edged - more like a 2-3 year old wine than one that is 5+.
