2000 Bearboat Russian River Pinot Noir

[dananne]

Was all set to post on this until I remembered that you beat me to the punch!

Good dark color, and dark fruits. Like Wonders, I also detected the currents (I recently had a current-flavored Swedish sparkling soda, so I recognized it -- otherwise, I may have missed it). Good finish with some tannins that were more present upon opening than after decanting about 30 minutes.

I paid about $18 for it here in Atlanta at a local shop. I enjoyed it, but have had a few nicer ones at similar price points recently. That having been said, I'd buy it again, and I'd enjoy seeing how it ages over the next couple or three years to see how the tannins hold it all together.

Wonders -- maybe it's because we're both in the SE and get similar shipments, or maybe it's because we both drink a lot of pinot, but it seems like I try many of the same ones you try. I enjoy looking for your notes!
