"Opened from personal storage. The intense mix of now mostly secondary pinot fruit leaps from the glass offering nuanced aromas of spice, sous-bois, smoke, earth and toasty oak that complement perfectly the focused medium weight flavors that have finally emerged from their tannic shell, all wrapped in a dense, chewy and extremely long finish. This is a very powerful wine that I have had the pleasure of trying this many times over the years and it never fails to impress and about the only nit is that there is a touch of wood that has not fully integrated and while not enough to really detract from all of the other sensory fireworks, it's enough to notice. This has now entered its prime drinking window and it should remain there for years to come. Multiple and consistent notes with scores ranging from 93 to 94."
