Had it at home while liz was at burning man. So awesome. Wow. This thing has gotten really good with sous bois on the nose. High acidity. Great balance with fruit

Nose of strawberry and vanilla. On the palate quite intense wild strawberry, with notes of tarragon, white pepper, smoke, vanilla and soil. Good grip but rather short finish. Still with some reluctance but drinking quite well now

Faiveley Myglands is one of my favorite cellar defenders, reliably good with fantastic QPR. This particular bottle was in a somewhat dormant state (shut down nose, mostly secondary flavors on the palate). Still has many years left based on the wine's underlying structure & fruit qualities, just going through the usual pinot noir up/down cycle. I'll be eagerly waiting a few years before opening my next bottle.

From a magnum, Ripe red cherry fruit and raspberry on the nose with some spicy oak notes. Very fresh on the palate, fruit still vibrant and young, nice acidity, aromatic spices, camphor and a black tea note. A bit of tannic grip. Ageing very nicely. No hurry to drink this.

Agree with the prior notes that the nose is unremarkable, but really picks up on the palate.
Balanced mix of ripe and tart red fruits, good concentration with a little warming spice and wet leaves in the mid palate. Energetic and full of tension. Finish is clean and the acidity really shines, but fairly short.
