The fruit is already starting to fade in this warm vintage pinot, but it is leaving behind a smooth and elegant sipper with compelling olfactory nuances. It lacks the acidity to give it real staying power, but right now it is providing drinking pleasure that summons up images of Burgundy. One wonders how it might differ if bottled with screwcap closure, like its lower-tier Select sibling. August 2017 update: fading, but still plenty of fruit in the stewed spectrum, and it has a certain "old world" elegance; pity it lacks the acidity needed for a longer lifespan.
