Last minute choice with dinner. Opened with no decanting. Cork in excellent condition. all of the signs of great ripeness associated with this vintage: deep color, palate weight, significantly high alcohol. This wine clearly falls into the category of new, modern style red Burgundy.: color not typical of Pinot Noir in natural form, lack of apparent acidity, noticeably high alcohol and a texture usually associated with warmer climates. This is not a style of wine that offers much interest. If anything, it strives to resemble a New World style, lack of elegance and focus without being obviously flawed. Is this a single occurence or is the whole line-up going in this direction.

Spice on the nose, age shows in the blunting of color, first taste is a surprising dark cherry followed by a nice pucker and late tannins. For having low expectations, this feels like serendopity.

Nice wine. PNP nose was pleasant, some sandalwood and roses; good balance through the midpalate and a tasty, savory finish. Not profound but perfect with our casual Sunday dinner. Drink up, it won’t improve.

Much bigger fruit than expected, still quite fresh though has lost some balance. Earth, menthol come later.
