November 4, 2017 - Antiquum Farm Wine Dinner (New Jersey, USA): Decanted about 3 hours before dinner. This is a powerful yet balanced, very rich and round style of Pinot Noir, with 14.4% ABV. Co-fermented with 777 and Pommard clones, it is ripe but retains a moderate level of acidity. It is a dark ruby color with some tannic structure, but definitely fruit forward. I get lots of red plum and cherry on the nose and palate. I think a little time in bottle may expose some additional secondary flavors. Aptly named as it is a very luxurious wine to drink with a moderately long aftertaste. It went very well with a rich deviled egg and Burgundy truffle.

Please, check out the tasting story which discusses the wines and food we had that evening.
Cheers!
