Very, very light color. Lighter than most Pinot's I've had. It has an orange/copper tint to it.
Smell of Roses/Floral. Taste is very delicate. Not a lot of fruit coming through, but the acid/tannins balance is just right and I'm really enjoying this one. Eventually some strawberry starts to come through as it opens up.
2nd day: The acid becomes a little off balance and I'm getting much more fruit with roses and a touch of dried orange peel. Overall I liked it better the first day because of the nice balance.
This is very much a Sangiovese meets Pinot and comes out even more light and delicate.

Certainly a unique wine. Lots of charred oak. Something ain't right.

A nice nose, some nice gaminess coming thru. A bit tart, but not in a bad way, made old world style.

Mightily tannic, I'm hoping that it is too young for proper consumption, and that time will tame the beast.
