Rich, muscular Pinot that has aged beautifully. At what is probably advanced middle age for this wine, it shows assertively earthy, woody notes on top of an intriguing range of fruit and floral nuances. In the mouth, complex flavors touch on kirsch, cinnamon, Zin-like dark berries, moist pine wood, flowers. Admirable grip and structure. - HK 2017-09-14
