By the glass at 36k feet courtesy of BA. Spicy and rich yet quite balanced, not overdone on either part of this equation which is what we don't usually like in new world Pinot noir. Soft and round drinks very nicely now. We will not rate as it was at altitude but felt like an 89.

Rather unusual flavors for a pinot noir. Perhaps the sandalwood and spices one person referred to. I also thought I noticed coffee. Although I also thought there was a slight oxidation on the palette, there was none on the nose, which showed some fruit. So,I think this was actually the unusual flavors. Enjoyable, but puzzling, which is why I have not given a rating.

Perfumed, sandalwood nose full of cherries, ripe strawberries, orange citrus, hibiscus and sweet toast. Mid-bodied, lively, and persistent. Shows good moxie, with cherry fruit flavors that are drawn out quite nicely.

nice cherry nose
Taste is cherry with a little strawberry. Fairly smooth.
Finish is tart cherry.
A fairly nice Pinot.

Nothing of note on this wine. Quite blah
