This took a while to open as we did not decant. Showing very tight and youthful. Cherry & plum fruits, game bird and mineral all take a seat at the table.

when this wine was first poured it hit us all in the face like an huge explosion of ripe, perfumed Pinot fruit, bacon and sausage aromas and an almost sweet finish that lingered for seemingly minutes on the palate!!!
Quintessential moments like this make collecting and aging great wines so rewarding--a stunning '85 with plenty of life left in it--TRULY AMAZING!!!
