finishing 2nd of 3 bottles purchased. Not as refreshing as before. Perhaps due to tasting against other pinots (12 Flowers Sonoma Coast Pinot and 12 Courtney Behnam Los Carneros Sangiacomo Vineyard Reserve Pinot). Found the Barda somewhat tinny.

(Bodega Chacra Pinot Noir Barda, Río Negro, Patagonia) Through his Tuscan connections, Piero Incisa della Rocchetta tasted the Pinot Noir of a colleague’s Río Negro winery, Noemia de Patagonia, and was hooked. Eventually, he found and restored the Barda vineyard, doing much of the farming biodynamically, as evidenced by this unique expression of Pinot Noir. At once Burgundian and New World, it offers notes of cranberry, cherry, red licorice, lanolin, mushroom, and smoke that mingle and linger. Special Report: Argentina

Cherry, good acidity, with new-world creosote, needs a bit of time to air but ready to drink.
