Lots of depth on the nose: sous bois, currants, cherries. The structure was solid: good acid and tannin. With time the palate faded as others have noted. Finish shortened up, alcohol felt more present. Probably getting a little old. Even the domaine says to drink within 2-10 years. Will come back to that last bottle in a couple years as an experiment.

Kleur: Fluwelig lichtrood, opvallend doorschijnend Aroma / bouquet: Heerlijk en 'lieflijk', zacht, Pinot Noir bouquet. Opvallend veel fruit in de vorm van aardbeiencompote, marsepein en cederhout. Smaak / Afdronk: In de mond minder indrukwekkend dan in de neus. Licht en vriendelijk. Frisse zuurgraad. Zachte tannines. Retronasale impressie van aardbeiencompote met een hint van bosaardbeien. Afdronk met een gemiddelde lengte. Niet onaangenaam, maar met een erieus gebrek aan concentratie. Algemeen / potentieel: Aangenaam, doordrinkbaar maar weinig indrukwekkende Pinot Noir. 50 + Kleur: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 11 + Smaak / Afdronk: 13 + Algemeen / potentieel: 8 = 87/100

Color: Velvety light red, strikingly translucent Aroma / bouquet: Delicious and 'sweet', soft, Pinot Noir bouquet. A striking amount of fruit in the form of strawberry compote, marzipan and cedar wood. Taste / Aftertaste: Less impressive in the mouth than in the nose. Light and friendly. Fresh acidity. Soft tannins. Retronasal impression of strawberry compote with a hint of forest strawberries. Finish with an average length. Not unpleasant, but with a serious lack of concentration. General / potential: Pleasant, drinkable but not very impressive Pinot Noir. 50 + Color: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 11 + Taste / Finish: 13 + General / potential: 8 = 87/100

Dark berry and cherry nose leads to raspberry and cranberry on the palate with some underlying earthiness. Crisp acidity and a bright fruity finish. Not much depth to this one.

Drink now. The wine was bright flavored and full on the nose when opened but quickly faded.
