Concerned about the aging potential of E&M wines. Decanted and took about 1 h to open up. Now 2h after decanting. Brambly, ripe green stem aromas like a forest after rain, just ripe black cherries, hint of earth. Palate with just ripe cherries, bark, hint of green stems and earth. Nice acids, medium to full bodied. Excellent concentration. Weightier than in its youth but works really well here. Still with bright lovely fruit and excellent balance. Aging well and wish I had more to see how this evolves. Drinking really well now but has more to give.

Best bottle yet. Pure, lifted, brambly strawberry fruit, light on its feet but with persistence. Rose like in some ways, as l’Anglore or others achieve. In a great spot to drink now.

Light and maybe a touch more acid than I prefer, but tasty.

Delicious! Lovely, bright, classic pinot. It has a light touch but with persistence. Beats plenty of Bourgogne villages for double the price.

Light in color and taste...very different than both burgundy and US Pinot...the only reason I might identify blind is I’ve had before...
