Big bold nose of red fruit and some heat. Very modern in style. More like a CA pinot. Very bright with decent complexity. Medium finish with a touch of alcohol. 93pts

Nice but far outshined by the Jadot and Potel of the same vintage and vineyard. Too much wood on this wine that later integrated with lots of time in the glass.

Silky tannins but still primary. Oak somewhat obscures fairly dense fruit with potpourri and Asian spices. Needs time.
