This might be a little past it’s prime. Fruit is almost all gone, giving way to more dried fruit flavors and slight tobacco, which is not consistent with Pinots. Color is a little muddy. — 3 years ago

Decided to go through my cellar. This is very good for the age, although it did lose some chocolate notes. Still very pleasant to drink and enjoy. — 3 years ago
