Some serious *bricking going on with subdued strawberry, savory spice on the rim with fresher fruit above the rim. A slight hint of caramel which is attributed to its aging hence the bricking.
Pallet-- lovely acidity, A bit of an old world flare, hint of milk chocolate rear pallet and what you taste up front is what lingers on.
*Bricking--A a red wine ages it oxidizes and begins to take on a brownish tint first noticeable at the rim when tilted under good lighting. This is a characteristic of an aging wine is not a flaw. Some people love it, (I happen to be one of them) others do not. It does mean that the wine should be drunk fairly quickly...
I was not familiar with the producer of this very nice Pinot Noir. It is quite different demonstrating "terroir" and the appeal of "single vineyard wines. They also tend to cost a good bit more.
This was served by my daughter on a recent visit and runs around $35.
