  I decanted this for an hour before the restaurant and poured it back in the bottle until we ate. The nose was fantastic, with rich sweet cherry and herbal overtones. I thought I was in for something special. The taste, however, was a little sour and overwhelming upon first sip. After some more time and palate-coating, it started to open up just a bit, but I feel like this just didn't do its thing while I drank it and never really opened up into something delicious. Regardless, the finish was weak and didn't have the stuff it takes to be a great wine. I got hosed for the $60 I spent on this (marked down from $75!!). Burgundy can be great when it's on, or just okay when it's not. This was not on...still better than most pinots I drink though...but definitely not worth the cash. F that. I'm out.

  Popped and poured. Small pours over about three hours were all the same: sour fruit, noticeable chewy tannin. Acidity didn't seem pronounced, could that sour fruit profile have been a reflection of high acidity? After being open for a few hours with pizza, this became a lovely burg: the sour fruit became sweet red fruit - primarily cherries; and the texture went from showing angular structure to being almost creamy. A very nice food wine, still mostly primary, not nearly as nice to taste by itself.
