No notes taken. This is a full-bodied, almost thick Pinot Noir with a dominating dark cherry and blueberry core. It has a good acidic backbone, isn’t too sweet and has a good balance. Still, not my preferred style of Pinot Noir. We didn’t finish the bottle. 89/90pts.
Decanting: No extensive decanting necessary.

Deep and rich color, good length and palate feel, crushed dark cheery. Very nice to try. Better values out there in my opinion but a real treat to try. Drink for its enjoyment.

Popped and poured. Light ruby color; spicy,,sexy nose. Luscious, mouthwatering flavor profile. Complex fruit, undergirded with notes of cocoa, sweet plums and blueberry. Plenty of tannic structure. Can go another ten years, at least,

I felt this bottle was very good, but not ready.
