2012. Once you get past the nose, it's a good pinot noir with lots of cherry, sweet toasty oak and a great finish.

I accidentally allowed this bottle to ruin and want able to assess it.

Trying as accompaniment to a triple-cream in the hopes that the smooth cherry flavors make a good match. The wine is enjoyable overall because of those cherry/vanilla flavors, but has a noticeable tannic note on the finish.

Not aging as well as expected. Has a tart cherry body with acidic notes hits palate dry and finishes with a lackluster slight tannic end. Mid palate desires a flavor but not there was better a year ago.

Fruity, light, refreshing. Definitely a good buy for a nice dinner at home
