Again with some ABC. Tasting some older single vineyard Pinot… Nose is great, amazing actually. The wine oxidizes very quickly and more challenging to enjoy when compared to it’s younger siblings. Loved the wine though.

2015 vintage. Tasted tired. Go back with this wine to the 1991 vintage. This one may have suffered due to storage but lighter than usual and without the anticipated herbal/spice crescendo on the finish.
