Pale garnet. Pronounced aromas of dried red fruit - cherry, strawberry, raspberry, oak - vanilla, tertiary - leather, vegetal, sous-bois. Fully developed. Dry palate, high acidity, medium ripe tannins, medium (+j alcohol, medium body, medium (+) flavours of dried red fruit and tertiary development. Medium (+) finish. Very good pinot, nice fruit intensity, but with acidity slightly out of balance. Drink now, not suitable for further ageing, likely to start to fade and the acidity to dominate.

Wonderfully expressive nose, moderate in color & body; Sadly my only bottle but an excellent experience. Look forward to trying more.

A bit reductive of the crack. Swirling really helps it.
Very elegant on the palate, fresh, tastes like a really good Willamette Pinot. With touches of spice. Clean long finish.
35% whole bunch, 25% in French, 11 months, balance in old wood.
Lots of spice and power on the nose, that's delicious Pinot. Maybe it needs to fill in just a touch though.
