Aromas like 20’ but lower register as it’s 1.0% lower alcohol. Complex, grassy, herbal, so restrained and amazing. unreal acid on the palate and your saliva comes to front of mouth Juicy and so clean. elegant and lean, so insane. So chiseled and low key explosive. Finish lingers forever. So classy. 21 is amazing here. — a month ago

Gorgeous aromas. Mid season sweet cherry fruit, spices, some gorgeous sweet oak, wet earth, florals and aromas that penetrate deep in the nasal cavity. Almost some barely ripe blackberry and cassis. Really a whole world of difference than last August. Just silly good aromas. Palate is ripe and juicy with a lithe, silky texture. Awesome purity and balance and such haunting delicacy. Sweet fruit and so nimble this is shockingly great. I vastly underrated this last time. Sweet, lithe and ripe tannins. This is stunning and achingly beautiful. 9.6 for now. Let’s see what air does to this. — 10 months ago

This nose is it. Palate is insane. So perfect. The energy combined with the red fruits, wild flowers, herbs and the most amazing sweet, ripe and red fruited velvet tannins makes this one of the best Pinots of the trip. Potential to be a 10.0 in a decade or sooner. — a month ago

So open and expressive. Unreal nose of hay, wild flowers, herbs and iodine a bit more closed than unique. So intense and bracing with wild flowers, minerals, iodine and green apple grip. ricola, wine version of ricola. Rich, yet grippy! — a month ago
