  August 27, 2017 - Nice earthy, textured pinot noir with plum and cherry notes. Medium to light bodied, but with a good finish. There is enough fruit to offset the dry style. I enjoyed this wine - suits my tastes. Plenty of life in it.

  November 4, 2016 - Nice, savoury, structured example of a pinot. Medium bodied with cherry and red fruits. Has a bit of bite with good acidity and tannins. Drinking really well with room to develop a little.

  June 6, 2015 - Translucent raspberry red color. The nose is all about vibrant and fruity new world Pinosity: sweet red fruits like cherries and brambly raspberries, some Ocean Spray, a little bit of peppery spice, a hint of savory wood and a touch of alcohol. The wine is crisp, medium-bodied and very crunchy with bright, focused and enjoyably nuanced flavors of ripe red cherries, tart lingonberries, peppery spice, some crunchy redcurrants, a little bit of earthy Pinosity, light savory oak tones and a hint of sour cherry bitterness. The structure relies mostly on the very high acidity as the tannins are quite light, yet still the wine feels enjoyably firm and even slightly grippy. The finish is bright, savory and complex with nicely acid-driven flavors of peppery Pinosity, tart cranberries, some brambly raspberries, a little bit of sour cherry bitterness, modest oak spice, a hint of darker and sweeter fruits and a subtle undertone of earthiness and herbal spice.
  
  A very nice, balanced and crunchy new world Pinot Noir with quite ripe fruit yet surprisingly fresh and racy acidity. Shows lots of typicity, nice intensity and surprising complexity. Not among the most impressive Pinot Noirs I've had, but very enjoyable and serious all the same. Still quite youthful in style, I have no doubts this wine will continue to develop over the years. Perhaps slightly pricey for the style at 42,72€.

  April 15, 2015 - Fresh, red fruits on the nose. The palate is crisp, linear but tasty. There's an immediacy with nice acids and gentle tannins adding to its appeal.
