  May 4, 2011 - A Night of Jura Wines (Polena - Washington, DC): 92 points. i loved this wine that much. vibrant ruby colored in the glass. the nose is gorgeous: soft red fruit, rich top soil, dill pickles and herbs. i could smell this wine forever, as it just kept opening up more and more. the palate is soft and sexy and very reminiscent of pinot noir, at least to me. (this wine is made from the trousseau grape). laser-like intensity and focus. delicious red fruit and mineral flavors laced with herbs. less tannic than a young burgundy, but still some grip. the finish is really long and gorgeous. my first taste of a trousseau, and i'm very impressed.
