  half bottle
  stored correctly
  nice cork
  
  I have no formal notes on this wine, I did however drink all of it over two days
  
  The robe was slightly alarming by it's transparency - it resembled some light cranberry juice. I know that Pinot from here is not supposed to be dark at all BUT this did seem a bit light. not showing a ton of age - no browning , slight bricking
  
  the nose was delightful with wild blue fruits, sappy pinot, a bit of forest floor. bref - the nose that we love from good Burgundy
  
  the palate was on the lighter side - very delicate and poised. Well balanced and not filled with greeness or overly acidic. quite nice but slightly frail
  
  Surely do not hang onto this wine. Enjoy it now with a friend. I would say, open it , sit at the table and talk to each other, listen to the wine and see what it has to say in it's later days
  
  a very emotional wine
