Clunky. Sour and savory, syrupy texture with a short finish. Really reductive nose, lots of stank. Tart raspberry, sour plum, cured meat. The wine seemed put together in an odd way, like bad patchwork, nothing flowed together. It just didn't sit well with me. Drain pour.

(Old note - tasting date not accurate) Very strong nose; Farmhouse; Palate lacking the depth suggested by the nose; Heavy new world; Would have guessed Syrah

This bottle more complex on the nose and palette than I remember versus the first one I sampled half a year ago. Not just your average new world pinot loaded up with cherry fruit here...lots more going on in this bottle that gives depth and character. Dark fruits, earthy tones, a certain astringency initially that softened out an hour or so post opening. Heavy for pinot, quite a thick compote with a medium finish. Very interesting and tasty.

Drinking beautifully, rich and smooth red fruit, silky texture. Not overly complex but just so damned nice.
