Much better than the last bottle almost a year ago. Even better on day 2 making me think it might be best in another year.

See previous note. My wife didn't get to sample the previous bottle so I had to open another one.

This wine is a changling. It starts off with a lush character, much like a Merlot; then the Pinot character comes to the fore. It loses some points for varietal typicity but achieves a significant amount of redemption from the sheer enjoyment. It's a pleasure to drink but I have no idea what I'd pair it with.

Big fruit bomb ar the start with a few earthy notes as the back but lacking any structure or complexity. Needs some tannis to hold it all together. Will probably hold next few a bit longer to see if anything develops but not holding out for much here.

Heavy and rough around the edges with some bitterness. 14.5% alc. Not among MacPhail's better offerings.
