Do you get the gun powder / flint / matchstick note? I think I might be particularly sensitive to it?
Did you find 27 more enjoyable on day 0 than day 1 as well? Seems like the additional time brought out more tannins and dark fruit, while any sense of sweetness/young fruit was lost.
#200 is my favorite DN wine by farā¦and my wife and I have been talking about moving to Portugalā¦

Jamie, I think I would agree as well. We had 1/3 of the bottle remaining for day 2 and seems to have closed up some. 92 pts day 1 and 91 on day 2. Cheers!

(2 hrs in a decanter) Fair amount of oak, concentrated, dark, rich, black cherry, little heat, dry mid/late palate
wife says: ācherry-tobacco-wood (needs cigar)ā
(1.5 hrs coravin pour) lighter bodied, less concentrated, delicate, drier, raspberry, strawberry.
Lot 20 cam:
āDeep garnet in the glass, the bouquet is lifted and pretty with black cherry and strawberry interlaced with an earl grey tea and rose petal halo while undergirded with black earth and hints of dark chocolate.ā
Wife doesnāt agree with the tea note, but I can get behind it.
Lot 8 cam:
āLot 8 is a fresh, spicy, perfectly ripe and sumptuous Pinot Noir. Cherry red in the glass with a shade of magenta that gives it a fresh color, it features an immediately gorgeous bouquet of ripe cherries and strawberries framed with fresh-peeled tangerine and black tea haloed by pretty rose petal florals.ā
Cherry/strawberry to tangerine peel is a nice descriptor of the way itās kind of bright red fruit with a dry midpalate. To me the spice notes and complexity donāt show until itās been decanted 4+ hours (and this was a coravin pour).

We both preferred Lot 20 over Lot 8. Concentrated and complex, lot 8 is delicate.
I think @Mikko_Tuomi called lot 20 āa cab drinkers pinotā and could definitely see that.
I will say, I want to taste some Pinots blind at different price points.
Maybe Cam X Pinots are perfect for me because I just really have no interest in buying a $50-$100 pinot. Iām just not that into them yet, but it has been fun tasting them.
