The strangest experience I've had with a 5-year-old pinot.Shyest nose I've experienced. Howm-so-ebberly a tremendous flavor profile. Medium ruby with an orange rim. Orange peel, black raspberry, earth and spice lay it on the palate in waves. After 1&1/2 hours in the glass there was a slight improvement in the aromatics but a decline in the intensity of the taste. Over-all a very good drink that was an orphan in the local distributors warehouse. Well worth the 16 per on closeout. 88/91. 13.5% alc. WW
