Nice spicy nose with some light fruit. Light mouth feel, light mixture pf berries with cedar and light spices, some refreshing acid, and a good finish. Paired with light food stood up to the garlic/tomatoes/chicken dish (which would have been traditionally paired with a Chianti). I was very satisfied at first. But perhaps because it is reaching the end of its drinking window, it faded in the glass and lost some of its vigor, and I started thinking I could find better at this price. It may meld into a wonderful mature wine, but I doubt it, so I'd drink now with friends to consume it fresh from the bottle.

Pure silk right now, still vibrant but age has mellowed this bottle to make a great food partner with a classic pinot profile.

Good balanced pinot, pretty stuffed for a humble Mercurey
