This isn't bad - the nose has a medicinal note that I can't quite place, but it's nicely expansive on the palate. I think this was their entry level bottling at the time, and it's held up well.

My 2nd bottle of this in the last couple months. Also very lightly-colored, similar to the Pernot Beaune I just commented about. Nose is primarily red-fruited, but there is what could best be described as a metallic note here as well that I find a little distracting.
Ripe red & black fruit on the palate, with maybe a touch less acidity than I normally look for in a Pinot. Not bad, although on opening I have a slight preference for the Pernot.

Color is translucent ruby, with a nose featuring red fruits and spices.
Seamless on the palate, good acidity that freshens/brightens the fruit - nothing overly complex here, but it does go down fairly easy. Probably best consumed over the next few years.

Translucent ruby in the glass, with red berries and floral notes - pretty nose.
Not bad at all - good supporting acidity, decent persistence - all in, pretty good for a Monday night.

Clean varietal fruit, lacks much in the way of spice or complexity, but easy to drink. Still seems very young...
