  This remains one of the very best VFM Pinot in the world. It retains its classical Burgundian style but with the benefit of a larger holding from which to make the selection. Beautiful garnet colour, very sharp in the glass. Full pinot nose with a freshness and hints of softer violet notes. Lovely in the mouth, not much tertiary development but this is no fruit bomb. Proper wine with minerality length and complexity. It will last well but is lovely now.

  It’s an incredible bottle of wine. Give it an hour decant and have mild food... it’s a perfect pairing, offers amazing flavors and is of the highest quality... amazing wine!
