Ok what we have here is the 2011 which I found cleaning out my cellar so I decided to try a flight for thanksgiving. 11 to 13. From the color these wines are indistinguishable. On the nose they all have the same herbal notes. The 11 has thyme and raspberry it's now very elegant and will be awesome with the meal. These wines however taste unique and are not for everyone. Very style consistent through the vintages. The 12 has more strawberry notes and has a bigger mouth feel. The 13 has cherry notes or Kirsch it is my favorite and the best in my book. The rating is for the 2011. I would NOT recommend to age these wines. Drink NOW. Change! 11 now open for 7 days no oxidation better now! I adjusted the rating up.

Totally different wine after it is laid. Red fruit, complex, elegant and a little camphor - baby EM Bundst/Musch....

Pale, thin, and browning, but super intense flavor. Salt and herbs. Awesome.

A lighter Pinot than I would normally enjoy, but this one is so complex that it demands attention! Looking forward to the next one

I expect that 'smile' will change to an emphatic 'grin' in a month or so, when this bright, delicious PN has had a chance to settle down from its recent journey. Thanks, Lyle Fass!
