Mount Eden Pinot Noir 1995

Santa Cruz Mountains, United States

Gamey brett and forest floor notes define this deeply evolved bottle. Leather, dried tobacco and mushroom emerge, while the fruit has retreated entirely. The Santa Cruz Mountains terroir shows through the earthy complexity, but this feels more like a wine study than pleasure drinking. Well past its prime.
