  8/20/2016 - Rowchan Likes this wine: 84 Points

  Clear, mauve with slight orange tint and white rim, thick slow-moving blobby tears only on one side of the glass.
  Clean, light intensity with aromas of red cherries, raspberries, black olives, some espresso and thick straw.
  Dry, med- body, med acidity, med tannins, med finish, med- alcohol, with further tastes of maraschino cherries, strawberries, tart blackberries, roast beef juices, and tea leaves. Delicate, well balanced but underwhelming despite the hype. A good Pinot but not amazing.

  Clear, purple with watery rim, nice tears.
  Clean, med - intensity, blueberries, sour cherries, aniis seed and saddle leather.
  Dry, med - body, med - alcohol, med + acidity, light tannins, nice complexity, further tastes of dark chocolate, soft perfume, raspberries. Acidity quite strong but a nice wine that opened in the glass well.
