This took a good 90 mins to come around. Double-decanted for 60 mins and then poured while having an amazing Porcini risotto. Half-way through the dinner it just hit an amazing spot of perfect balance and being open and having great balance/tension. This is a good 91 points and does take some time to open but when it does open - wow! it is in a great place now. Patience and it seems it will go for 5+ more years.

Épaulé 1 heure et consommé sur 2 heures. Couleur rubis assez foncée et luisante. Léger nez de framboises. En bouche, l'attaque se poursuit sur les petits fruits rouges (framboises). La finale est plutôt amère, poussièreuse et sèche avec des tannins encore présents. Un des rare 2012 ouvert récemment. Je vais attendre les autres. 88-89 pts

Dark for a Pinot, nose of ripe dark cherries & spices, too young with lots tannins & acidity, will improve with age
