  Quite a barnyard nose. Had to wait an hour for it to blow off.

  Guests had gone and the wine of the night had been drained dry but my wife wanted another glass to sip while we relaxed, so I opened this and poured her a glass. I took a sip and thought it was about the same as my note from Feb '24. What a suprise when we poured a couple of glasses the following night - we couldn't believe how much weight it had put on. Suddenly I could see where all the reviewing notes were coming from. Will decant the rest of these for at least a couple of hours before drinking.

  PnP, red fruit (strawberry, raspberry), blackberry, some herbs. Medium+ acidity, medium finish. Young but approachable

  Pale red. Light strawberry and slightly floral nose. Under-ripe strawberry on the palate - not sour but slightly tart. Medium+ acidity and medium tannins that were somewhat refined. Well made with decent structure but for me it just registers as a lightweight - both literally (in terms of body it's much lighter than I'd expect for a PN) and figuratively (I've had plenty of gamay that impress me more than this.) Okay for a weeknight PnP with light fare but it doesn't deliver anything distinctive. Meh!

  Aromas of cherry, cranberry and cloves. Some volatile acidity. Californian Pinot Noir which feels like a resemblance of Beaujolais. Plate is smooth, ver well balanced and juicy. Very enjoyable. Not overly complex, but lush and a crowd pleaser.
