  Merita di essere decantato un'oretta almeno e diventa piu' ampio pur mantenendo una spiccata acidita'.
  
  Sono un fan dei vini di Ottin per cui non commento oltre.

  13.5% ABV from Valle D'Aosta. Slightly fizzy hazy palate - which blind I would have placed as coming from high altitude in Mornington Peninsula - but not as ripe . Tannin and alcohol on the high side - this is not a shy wine but neither is it a fruit bomb (too cool terroir for that and not extracted like some Cali Pinot). This is quite fine, has the structure to last. Still young right now, showing nice loganberry fruit. At this age this is still quite simple, with average length on the palate.

  Nez un peu vert et simple, mais bouche d'une belle délicatesse avec de la longueur

  WOW
  I love this bottle.
  
  Ample oak nuance that is not over-the-shoulder,
  Enough body but not overly extracted and fermented (13.5%)
  (I am stating these two above just because this is from vallee d'aoste, and some might worry that this is under-ripe acidic and austere juice. It is definitely not, ripe to the perfect degree, and not damn over-ripe like those non-sense mediocre napa pinots.)
  Great fruit intensity, mostly with red berries
  Fantastic minerality with ashes and spices
  
  Damn, this is perfectly drinkable today, and is very much complete.
  Again, I LOVE this bottle.
  
  If you like baden pinots, or some premium alsace pinots with low enough yield, - I mean, if you know anything about real wines - you are gonna love this wine.
