Despite a worrisome, slightly leaky cork this 2007 Pinot is drinking pretty well but certainly getting long in the tooth. Bright, lean ruby with pale, rusty meniscus. Nose opens nicely to sour cherry, kola, clove, hints of wet forest, and just a whiff of something vegetal that is nicely woven into this delicately complex wine. Remarkably fresh attack with a soft mid that confirms the nose before ending with a flourish of baking spices on the finish.

Great Pinot, colder vintage, fruity, light tannins, great with fish dishes, elegant, perfumy, taste the fog,
