A lovely example of a Pinot Noir that has aged well. Good but not great. The vintage was warm and generally the Pinots from 2001 looked lighter. This opened with restraint, showing spices like cinamon and dark cherry flavours. The palate has nice texture and a little raspberry as well as the black cherry. A spicey edge on the finish that I suspect is from the oak. It may last beyond my forecast if cellared well.
