Will score tomorrow. Popped and poured. Very closed at first. Opened up after the first hour. Reddish / Black color (must come from the Gamay blended in wtih the Pinot). Funky nose (burn off with time) with tar, burnt rubber and dark cherry. Very rich wine for a Pinot (black fruits, dark cherry, a little tobacco). Nicely balanced (high acidity matches the fruit) with a medium to long finish. Will see how it does overnight (anticipate 86-88 final score).
