Smells like a Sauternes. Super cloudy, unfiltered and unfined in appearance. Acidic cherry yet softly cherry. Roses cranberries. Fresh strawberry. I like this a lot.

Drinking beautifully tonight. This wine still has a lot of life ahead. At least another 5-7 years. The fruits are slightly syrupy and candied. The body is full, round & lush. Ripe; blackberries, black cherries, plum, black raspberries, dry cranberries & strawberries paint the background. Followed by; black cherry licorice, light cinnamon, clove & vanilla, semi-sweet wet turned black earth earth, dry stems, soft volcanic minerals, touch of mint, fresh & dry dark florals. The mouthfeel is lush, thick & silky. The acidity is dead on. The length, balance, tension are in perfect evolution/harmony. The finish is a long lasting pleasure you just don't find in too many Pinot's.
