Community Tasting Note

Eudemis Likes this wine:

Sunday, February 23, 2020 - 13% alcohol. Good dense cork with barely 2mm of wine penetration. Fairly deep colour for pinot, with some fading at the rim.
Very classy full nose with semi-dried berries, just the right side of raisiny. The mouth shows sweet red berries (not in the sense of residual sugar) and good acidity in the finish. However, the best thing is the excellent mouthfeel combined with good grip (not a frequent association).
This wine is easily of first growth standard; I seem to remember that it does actually incorporates a sizeable chunk of first growth juice, probably from young vines.
In excellent condition and just about ready to drink, but seems to have plenty of life ahead (in fact it is still a bit tight).
Pretty expensive when I acquired it some eighteen years ago, and totally out of reach now; no problem, just move to red Sancerre.
