Flat out amazing. One of the greatest pinots I’ve ever had. Do people understand this is 16yrs old and it tastes like this? So much kirsch, blueberries, dates, blackberry stems. Impeccable texture. Can’t believe this is more than 7yrs old.

Not even close to gone. In a really good spot right now! Poured with some translucence. Noseand palate of black cherry, herb, cola. I think I have had a previous vintage which was just as solid.
