Cassis on the nose and almost some winter spices. Stewed berries on the palate and a little bit of menthol of the finish. Good structure. Could age longer. Ton of sediment though.

Green notes and Burgundy like funk on the nose. A little bit of honey/honeysuckle as well. Taste - nicely balanced. Dry but a little bit of boisterous-like complexity. A little herbs and some butter.

Nose: Very ripe/fruity cherry. Taste: Wow -- blind I would never pick this as Pinot Noir (hell, even sighted, this wine doesnt look it like Pinot -- it's thick and dark); blueberry, and pushing off-dry in terms of sweetness/ripeness.
Candidly, Im giving it something of a blended grade. It does taste good, and could be a "my first red wine" type of bottle for people not into wine. But its more like a very ripe cab or syrah (maybe even pushing a sherry) than pinot so know what you are getting into.
