Shows the ripeness of the vintage, but not in an offensive or overdone way. The dark purple / blue fruited profile in a mid weight pacakage would make this a good candidate for a ringer in a CA Pinot tasting. Not profound, but pleasant drinking, and a good qpr at its current pricing.

À la maison du Bastion. Un côté petit perlant à l'ouverture qui déplaira à plusieurs. Il offre tout de même une belle fraîcheur, un fruit mûr sans excès, des tanins qui sont fins. Un vin pur et gourmand, très expressif. Cet aspect perlant n’aura pas eu le temps de disparaître, il aurait fallu le carafer. 89 (+?) pts

Similar to previous notes. Dark fruits, good tension some earth and spice...continues to get deeper in the glass. Enjoy or keep them sleeping both will work!

Chewy juicy red and black fruit, some sweetness from barrel treatment, with some aeration does not open up, getting more subdued, so pnp and enjoy or let this one sleep another 5+ years, **(*-?), 88- 89+ potential

Not much of a nose.
On the mouth, fresh and intense, delicious pinot flavors. Yet one-dimensional and surprisingly short.
Very drinkable now, although may improve in a couple years.
