Well made and full of fruit and likeable enough. But just so much residual sugar and cherry cola. Too much for me at least. Williams selyem and a few others can pull it off, but lately so many seem over the top. Later glasses were better, so decant, but drink now. I'm the low scorer here, so maybe it's just me.

Opened, decanted 45 minutes. Nice med-dark ruby with a rich cherry nose & earthy, almost Oregon notes. Very nice on the palate with dark berries added to the dominant black cherry, earthy notes present but faded behind the fruit after about two hours. A smoky note lingered with the cherry on a medium-long finish. Medium body, nicely integrated overall w a decent structure but hard to guess how this would age. I plan to consume mine over the next 2 - 3 years max.

Intense, profond, boisé sous contrôle. Très long !

Rich, ripe, red fruit with Asian spices and subtle acidity. Definitely a bigger style of Pinot, but has enough backbone to keep it nicely balanced.
