Seems big and extracted, with more than a dash of pruney oxidation. It's been cellared well, so I'm wondering if this is how this wine should be, or a plastic nomacorc flaw? Not great.

Much better than what seemed like a heavily reduced bottle a few years ago. This was good and got better over the course of the evening. Nerve, not overly extracted. Drank more like a 10 than an 09. Quite like it and surprised

Thought this might have been past it’s prime. Glad we weren’t right. Was fantastic. It was as bold as a cab in our opinion. Not sure if I will ever see a Pinot this mature.

This is like a Napa Cab of Pinots. Huge dark sweet fruit. Big mouthfeel. Didn't think much of it on its own, but went great with venison burgers

A lot of nice fruit up front. Doesn't have quite the same earthiness as other Shea Vyds can have.
