The palate is much better with sour lemon and quince on the entry

but remains solid

Then again

There is more size

with at least another decade of life ahead of it

Nicolas Jay, Own Rooted Pinot Noir other_regions_italy The palate is much betterDeep magenta. Expansive red and blue fruit, floral and spice scents are underscored by emerging mineral and succulent herb flourishes. Firm and focused in the mouth, offering bitter cherry, boysenberry, candied rose and cola flavors that unfurl steadily through the midpalate. Shows good depth and energy as well, finishing very long and gently chewy, with fine grained tannins adding framework and final grip. 50% new oak. Josh Raynolds
