Monday, October 22, 2012 - Couples dinner on a cold, breezy fall night. (Reno, NV): I have had about 5 or 6 of these now and continue to have the same impression of the wine... stylistically it is a generous and easy to like Old World pinot that has offers some minerality and classic Burgundy structure for those who like their PN old school and some fruit intensity and flesh on the midpalate that pleases those New World PN fans. I agree with BurgAndy it isn't particularly Volnay right now and is as much 09 as 07 with all the charm and fruit intensity. I still think if it were blind on an exam I would call it Old World based on its palate which is for me at least, is distinctly Old World because of its firm and minerally palate shape (the aromatic intesnity of fruit and charming style I suppose point to the New World a bit). Over the past 6 months the wine has been opening up aromatically so I think it won't peak for another year or so.
