At first opening there seemed to be no life. 2 hours later the nose was buzzing with mature and ripe red fruit and a touch of a tomato paste quality that was slightly intoxicating. Unfortunately the palate was lost though. #oregonwine #pinotnoir #domainedrouhin

Perfection. Cannot believe the structure and intensity from this wine at this age. Truly an experience.

Pinot Noir 1997, 13%. Unfortunately this bottle was probably too old and tasted spoilt.

Sep 8th, 2013A lot of fun. Very developed and past peak. Surprising acidity. Secondary flavors of cherry fruit leather, black pepper, wood, and some stewed fruit too.
