(Sea Smoke Ten Pinot Noir) #3; COLOR-dark; NOSE-explosive amount of fruit; lilacs & violets; huge strawberries; a Strawberry Creamsicle aspect; TASTE-Oak is obvious; creaminess; bigger body; strawberries in cream; a little flabby for me; I like it; beautiful flavors; big profound over-the-top P/N; great structure; but same components as the other wines for twice the money; WS-92/94; GV-92+

As with every aged Sea Smoke, vinegar. I'm ashamed I fell for the hype years ago.

This bottle was acquired upon release, stored at Eastside Wine Storage in Bellevue, WA and consumed mid-March 2022. What a fantastic wine. Still deep red color, little bricking, hesitant port-like nose, and wonderful aged burgundy flavors. Medium finish, but such a memorable experience. Congrats to the Sea Smoke folks for such a terrific wine.

Nice, very nice, but in a more elegant manner. Medium bodied (at best) , a nice balance of fruit savory and earthiness. A little thin on the finish, I think this wine (at least this bottle) has peaked/is at peak and I would recommend others to start opening their bottles to assess progress/your individual tastes.

Wow! This is in a really nice place. I expected it do be on the downhill side but it’s vibrant and fresh. Nice ripe red cherry on the nose and palate. Still deep red color. Might have another decade of life. Impressive!!!
