  Further to my Note of Oct. 20, '19: this is #2. A bit more evolved--fragrant, restrained flavor--still young. Will wait a while before trying my last bottle.

  Solid Pinot with strawberry, red raspberry, soft earth. Nothing spectacular but does the job.

  Typical Pinot with strawberry, cranberry and cherry notes. Medium body and acidity. Darn good for the $20 I paid.

  This wine has put on a little weight over the last year. On the nose, a hint of forest floor and lots of cherry. In the mouth, light with the cherry and forest floor coming through with well integrated tannins. Needs a little time to air in order to open. This wine is a little disappointing in the mouth as the nose suggests a bigger mouth feel. However, this is still an enjoyable wine.

  Bought 3b for 25/b two months ago from WL. Saw this at various Burgundy locations in FR last spring for 30+ euros/b and decided to give it a try; best global Searcher price is $29+/b. No decant but should have: this is still young. Medium ruby; fragrant, restrained; good red fruit, good mouthfeel. Needs considerably more time--hope to wait at least 2 years before next try. Stored horizontally in a cool, dark basement since purchase. My evaluation: For me, scores on a "100-point scale" are misleading. I use a 4-category scale (perhaps with +/-)--not including flawed--which runs outstanding/notable/drinkable/poor. For now, this is notable when considering quality, age, and price; but I consider this preliminary.
