2002 Gloria Ferrer Pinot Noir Rust Rock Terrace Carneros
PnP'd. Very dark purple-garnet color. Initial nose of ripe-year iodine and worcestershire sauce--that intense, raisiny, spicy/savory, orange peel thing, similar on the palate, along with black cherry fruit. Might have been on the extracted side to begin with but it's amazingly youthful now for a 17 year old--offhand, would have guessed about 10. In the glass it evolves quickly, getting quieter but more interesting as we transition to a second glass. All good, all the way thru. Drink by 2024, I'd say.
