Dark scarlet, almost opaque. Brooding tight nose, despite a few hours in the decanter. Eventually opens up to reveal bright fruit, some dark soil, some herbs and a little wood. Nice in the mouth, coats the palate. Good, not great.. and overall a nice bottle to go with the sea bass special at the restaurant down the street.

Dark ruby purple. Quiet nose even with a few hours of air. Still primary. Tannin not fully resolved. Needs time.

Popped decanted and poured. Not as fruit forward with that Pinot impact as I was hoping for. Musty and closed. Maybe in a phase but this has been better in the past.

Just starting to show some development, with mushrooms and dried black tea, but still has a lot of red fruit, rhubarb and cola. Beautiful wine.

Pristine bottle of wine. So clean. Amazingly bright fruit, crazy acidity, and great depth.
