I had fear upon opening the bottle, as the nose showed some volatility, maderized notes...then after 2 hours of air, the wine came together, showing airy red fruits, spices, leather, forrest floor notes, the mouthfeel displaying good depth of flavor, chalkiness, etheral pinot blue fruits, with excelent persistence in the finish. Amazing how this wine packs so much punch is such a light frame, first rate, translucent village. 92. At peak.

A fair amount of barrique nose and flavor notes, which seemed unusual to me for this wine, but the nuances do add interest to the wine. With time to air the barrique retreats and the rich fruit comes out with some nice additional twists and turns of flavor notes, including some nice spice.

Back of closet and a bit of barnyard to start makes it clear this is not an RRV pinot. Lovely combo of lightness and structure. Worked with the fancy soup and salad

Agree with other reviewers. Barnyard funk gives way nice fruit. Drinking great. She makes great wines.

Premier cru quality. Brilliant energy, tart cranberry fruit and metallic bramble minerality
