Very rich pinot - high alcohol but still a lot of complexity and finesse. Medium tannins, medium acidity, toasted notes.

Solid and smooth. Cherry with moderate acid. Not quite an SLH show stopper, but quite drinkable.

Delicious. Fruity, but with spice. Kept well after opening.

A "robust" pinot noir, strong alcohol, with a bit of cherry spice on the nose. Still tasted a bit heavy on the alcohol, with stale cherries and potting soil, leading to a soft cola spice as it opened up. 14.5% alcohol, maybe consider aging this for a couple of years...
