Still very red around the rim - maybe just a hint of brown sneaking in. Dark red. Camphor wood maybe slightly charred? Vanilla and almost Syrah like pepperiness and ripe plums - a touch of candy floss.
First sip was quite fruity. As it opened up the vanilla and pepper came forward and the spicy notes last a long while.
Not getting earthiness, but leather and wood definitely showing.

Light ruby color. Some forest notes on the nose. Pine? Savory fruit. Spicy. Some black tea. Very expressive. Nice mid palate lift. Still hasn’t reached its peak

We took this into Subterra last night for Christmas Eve Eve Dinner. A beautiful Pinot with notes of damp forest, plum, dark cherry, orange peel, and baking spice. A fantastic experience with the duck casulet and pork belly. I bought it at the winery last summer and would love to buy more.

Decant for 1+ hour; medium legs and purple in color. Some plum and cherry on the nose. Tastes of forest floor, plum and hint of old oak. Amazingly smooth and a sweet, long finish. Loved this Pinot.

Possibly spoiled, as this was dominated by barnyard funk and spritz I sometimes see in biodynamic wines. Still quite fruit-forward underneath the funk, with few tannins left. Not at all oxidized, so not corked.
