This shows a beautiful, mature, burnished copper color and a plum, toast, earth and smoke bouquet with that 'funky-in-a-great-way' complex Pinot edge. It's creamy and full on the palate, with a lovely mousse and near perfect acidity, and dried cherry, berry and plum flavors bearing sweet hay and earthy notes. Finishes with incredible length and intensity, dusty rose and kirsch notes. Great juice, delicious now and for a long time. ——W.E.(12/15/2001)—— 94
