Wonderfully full bodied and lush Pinot-you’d never know it was 10 years old. Very drinkable now, notes of raspberry amd black fruit with a long lingering finish. I get pine forest notes on this, which I quite like.

Disappointing with off flavors. Nothing ever came together. Might try on day two but I am not sure these flavors and scents will blow off.

Lovely light cherries but with depth and complexity. Tasted a note of cranberry, spice and heat on the finish. Beautiful wine.

2011 has a light balanced fullness. That's contradictory but it's correct. Fruit full but nothing overwhelms. More delicate now than some others.
