I am not usually charmed by Drouhin reds in their youthful stages. But this was remarkably stunning with its very effusive nose of raw pinot fruit, red and dark cherry coulis character. Missing the usual blast of acid in a young Drouhin, showing great balance and class. Very enticing now but will hold up for several years.

a lovely aromatic profile of kirsch, raspberry, violet-infused spicy notes introduce fresh, fruity and lifted flavors of wet stone and red berry fruit melange. The tannins seem to be well-integrated today. This is very charming at present due to the lack of firmness but this should age on its balance. 90-91 points for me today. No rush at all. Try again in 5-8 years.

Strawberry, herb, bright and simple.
A few more years might benefit this wine.

Good balance. Gentle nose, Oaky finish. Needed more than an hour after opening. Needs a couple more years in cellar.
