special pale red color. probably due to Frank's "natural" wine making style where he uses not additives at all, not even added yeast; only let the grapes do the job. A fine blend for what it is. interesting taste with very little fruits and with more liquorice notes.

Tasted directly from the bottle and then decanted for 2 hours. Didnt improve much. Very good wine for how much it costs. I suppose this is at its peak right now. Almost no tannins. Very well balanced dark and red fruits. Enjoy!

some sour red fruits, good mix with chocolate/caramel tastes. beautiful pinot noir. decanting might be useful for this beautiful grand cru.
