Following on the heels of the last vintage, this Pinot is right up there in complexity and deliciousness. It’s a big, young wine, dark and full-bodied, with complex fruit, herb, spice and oak flavors that are impressive for their length and depth. It’s also very dry. Fine now despite its youth, it should gain in power and subtlety through 2008. ——S.H.(12/1/2005)—— 94
