This wine has aged well; now approaching a nice Burgundy. Good earthy notes on the nose and palate: mushroom, forest, etc. Plus decent amounts of darker fruit; overall medium body. Excellent when PnP; if anything, better the next day. Should continue to improve, not sure?

Seemed almost flat or over the hill when opened. Improved slightly in the glass. Some PN mushroom on the nose. But light and almost thin body But the second night, a different wine! Still light but now flowery notes, esp violets with hints of raspberry. Delicate overall Conclusion: needed decanting and time to open up. Hard to tell if it will improve with time but probably

Tasted amongst pinots from other regions. Much lighter at this tasting. Seems about the right timing for the wine which is unlikely to improve with more time. Still a well made and interesting FLX Pinot. Reminiscent of some lighter Oregon PNs with great character.

Past prime, thin, flat one-note aromas, drinkable, but not memorable
