Overripe plums, strawberries, leather and spices. Quite a bit of leather actually with some mushrooms and olive tapenade. Fun and tasting quite good actually however, I don’t think these are worth holding onto any longer. Drink up!

Popped and poured. Obvious bricking. Crushed, over-ripe (nearly fermenting) strawberries...in a good way, truffles, sous bois. On the palate, it’s much the same with some slight balsamic element (VA??). Regardless, I️ kinda enjoyed this. Drink now. Like...right now. If you have this, go to your cellar, and drink that. It won’t improve.

Decanted, it needed lots of air but returned to life after awhile. Some brownish apparent. Drink this vintage of the reserve now - not much time left - November 2019.

Perfumed, fruity, smooth and balanced Pinot, with enough acid to be an excellent food wine. Enjoyed the 2009 vintage with Thanksgiving deep fried turkey and grilled salmon.
