Still holding it's own and ready to drink. Classic old world burgundy. Kudos to El Molino. No change since 9/13/14 tasting note. Only regret: Supply diminishing!

Medium garnet-red color, pale-edged. Oaky nose, with ripe dusty plum fruit.; leather. On arrival, medium-low tannin and medium-low acidity. In the mouth, a spicy oak veneer over raspberries, plum wine, peppered beef jerky. Sturdy finish, drying with lots of smooth oak and a little acidic zip on the end; black pepper abounds in my emptied glass. An unusual style for modern pinot noir, and not something I typically admire stylistically, but I do like this bottle. I want to think it's akin to admiring how a fat man might move unusually well for his size. Bottle #2 of two.

This pinot is amazing and only getting better. At peak and ready to rumble.

Basically the same as my note in September. This one's perfect!
