Friday, January 31, 2020 - 14.6% alcohol by volume, but despite its brobdingnagian proportions the wine somehow maintains its poise. Good pinot-y nose. Though exuberant and very new world in style, the fruit character is not overwrought. Strawberries and cherries predominate on palate, with a bit of spice. Some oak sweetness. Acidity is very good, but there is no discernible tannin. No earth either. Soft. This wine is good now, and I would dissuade you from holding it for more than a few years. The structure just isn’t there.
