Fun Friday evening with great wines.

This surprised me at how good it was. Then again, I don’t get to enjoy older Aubert Pinot very often. Normally, Aubert pinots are powerhouses of flavor, but I wonder if the cool/wet vintage of ‘11 dialed things back a bit in a good way. Very perfumed and floral. Black cherries, rose petals, and sandalwood aromatics. Great acidity on the palate with red and black fruits (and even a hint of blueberries), baking spices and cedar. These may be best with some age on them. Thanks

A bit thin and acidic at first, but after a few hours of air it put on weight and became very enjoyable.

Strangely endering but not a typical pinot. Strong early fruit dissipating quickly.
