Community Tasting Note

• La Cave d'Argent wrote: 88 points

  July 8, 2023 - Tasted from a well-cellared magnum that had been popped and poured, this deep ruby Pinot offers straightforward aromas and flavors of Bing cherries, blackberries, baking spices and smoke. Medium-bodied, freshly acidic, proportionately oaked and with well-integrated alcohol (13.8%), it wraps its flavors with medium-weight, somewhat rustic tannins. Dense on the mid-palate, it concludes with a medium-to-long, slightly astringent finish. This seems young, likely by virtue of the magnum format. While it is certainly reasonable to pop the cork now, I suspect that it will get better with a bit more time in the cellar. That said, it is not particularly complex and I doubt that it will ever evoke a lot of excitement. Comparably cellared magnums should easily last throughout the remainder of this decade. Drink now-2030.
