  Boring and acidic to start from cellar temp. Very burgundian! Warned up with air and temperture to be rather tasty, but it needed 3 hours to get there. More time or a solid decanting are very necessary.

  Just as you want Pinot noir to be. Not too jelly but enough black and red fruit to smell and taste. Also spicey enough. Lovely.

  Fruity nose of mature, rather dark berries, slightly sweetish impression, some spiciness and just a slight oak note. On the palate medium bodied, good fruitiness and aroma concentration, again rather dark berries, a slight impression of sweetness (of the “mature fruit” rather than the “residual sugar” type), slight spiciness, balanced acidity, mild and well integrated tannin. 87-88 p.
  A well made Pinot Noir with good concentration of fruit that clearly avoids going in the “jammy” direction, but which definitely says “New World” rather than “Burgundy” to me, particularly on the palate. Could probably gain in complexity from one or a couple of years of cellaring, but I don’t perceive it as produced in a style that really requires cellaring. To me, the tannins were quite mild in relation to the amount of fruit.

  Nice and vibrant Pinot; cherry aroma and slightly savory palate.
