From glass. Nose of pickled, berried celery; some greenness, and some spice; eventually sappier and gamier. Palate suggesting that there might be more in it than came out: astringent and closed, with char and tarter dark fruit - still delicious; tannins still somewhat drying. Hunch is that this could be great - either with air or another five years.

An informal dinner at an anesthesiologist's (Marseille, France): Mistreat in a bus, Decanted 20 min, served at 18'C. Very dark hue for a pinot, with lots of tiny depots elements. Nose strange of old tobacco, mothballs, leather, dust and old grave yard. Not much fruits. Mouth very dry, typical for this vintage. A bit emaciated, but complex and interesting. Sorry but this wine has been also jostle by a non matching dish: a bonito with fresh coriander.
