Dan L Does not like this wine: 85 points
January 30, 2014 - So, where do I begin with this one...? In a proper Pinot the glass the nose was actually quite nice. The body was light to medium with very smooth tannins. At first opening I was excited and was considering going back to buy more. Then it happened... With air the flavors and sweetness further developed, of course, but the sweetness quickly overpowered everything else. It was so sweet that there is no way it was natural. It's not our style, but if you like sweet wine you should buy this. Try it again in a year.
