6 Pinot Noirs from Different Origins (Le Petit Sommelier Restaurant): Excellent pinot. Still youthful, with strawberries, red cherries, violets, smoke and floral scents. Medium-bodied, firm but fine tannins that require some further aging, rich fruit and high acidity offering vibrancy. Long aftertaste. Cellar for 2-3 more years.

well sourcerd dense fruit that comes out a little too fast with hints of toasty oak. The tart pie smell made the wine a great apertif. We all enjoyed. Lacking a structure on the mid palate was a very well made pinot

On the nose raspberry and floral notes.Medium to full palate with vibrant red toned pinosity fruit.Very smooth and supple.Not much oak or secondary aromas.Got clearly better in the glass after some airing.Great stuff.

Tasted on Viking Line from Turku to Stockholm. The bottle was opened for my pour. A fairly dark red, with a nose of bright red fruits and some leather. The palate was somewhat sweet, with lots of red fruit like cherry, and quite a bit of tannins. A rather tastey wine, fruit forward (but not aggressively so), eminently quaffable, nice stuff. 50+4+11+15+7=87

Red Carpet: Darker ruby red-shows some age; intense cherry, blkberry, hint spice-leather nose; but earthy, tannic, bitter mth! Strang--unbal. Grt nose, bad mth

On the nose, the flavors appeared very tight at first, not giving up a hint of the wine within. We intended to drink this with dinner, but it took a good hour or so in the glass to open up. After it did, I got aromas of strawberries, oak, spice, leather, raspberries, cherry coke, vanilla, and baking spice. In the mouth I found red berries, cherries, raspberries, sour cherries, and coke.
The wine showed darker in the mouth than I expected, the flavors were deep, but ultimately I would describe the fruit as quite tart. The finish disappointed a bit, it feel off quickly. The wine also had some tannins, so perhaps it wasn't quite ready to drink.

Smokey leather, cherries, raspberries, fresh fruit with earthy hints on nose. Sour cherries and raspberries in the mouth, tart and tannic. I think it needs to lay down for another 3-4 years.

Toasty aroma, followed by raspberries and wood. Black cherries and hints of spices in the mouth. I think this could age longer, the price was a bit steep for what I found in the bottle.

very solid bottle - opened about 30 minutes prior to drinking. Nice but not too powerful

A bit too oaky. Some alcohol on the nose. Other than that, quite good.

Fruit forward Pinot, with a lot of dark cherry. Heavy on the alcohol in the nose. A bit of leather on the nose, with a slight tannic finish
