Marcassin "Bondi Home Ranch" Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast 2003

Evolved red.

The usual sexy/sumptuous nose - spicy red cherry/underbrush/savory meat/cinnamon/hazelnut/earth. Integrated, seamless.

Round and mouth-filling, with a cinnamon edge/lift that keeps it real. Very interesting - I'm fairly certain that the cinnamon aspect is part of a disulfide issue. The 2001 Blue Slide showed it too. But who cares, the whole rocks. Round, sumptuous, lifted and extremely long. Nothing intrusive or out of place. Just continues to improve as it airs... Cherry, meat and cinnamon for minutes.
