This bottle seems past the right drinking window, very little structure, flat/flabby, mild blue fruit, earthy, need to drink right away (and don't serve to friends).

Drank with Ramondi, past drinking window to 2018, ruby with slight brownish hue, black cherry and earth scent, light tannin, mod acid. Zesty finish. Very good despite past window.

Garnet hue with medium-plus saturation. Aromas and flavors of blackberry, chocolate, earthy, graphite, oak, raspberry, smoke, and tobacco. Medium-full body; medium (yet firm) tannins; and medium-high acidity. A rustic, elegant nose; a full, rich palate; and a bold, lingering finish. Several years in the bottle bring tertiary notes to the nose, but nevertheless a silky and elegant finish. Made from 100% Pinot Noir, aged for 7 months in 100% French oak (25% new) before bottling.

Was not a fan. I expected more from this wine.
