Upon opening a touch more smoke and savory notes on the nose than I remember from the 2010 vintage yet no oxidative notes. Next day stored in the wine fridge it opened up so much more. Less of those toasted oak notes and more sous bois, subtle dark cherry - lifted acidity on the palate, lovely medium texture and such a nice balance of fruit and savory notes. It would be a fantastic food wine but epitome of elegant age in a #yamhillcarlton #pinotnoir
