1999 Martinelli Pinot Noir Martinelli Vineyard Reserve

This stuff is ridiculously good. Kept opening up over 6 hours. Amazing longevity. 
Raspberry, sous bois with signature anise accent . Yes, the +15% abv seems high octane, however it wears it well. Perhaps Helen Turley's consulting influence. ...
...  I have a special affinity for these older Martinelli Reserve pinots....
