March 10, 2020 - Hard one to call. First cork really well put together and kept the wine fresh. Magenta stained. Have very little Jura knowledge or experience, but wasn't sure what to expect. Seems a cross between pinot noir and perhaps a spanish wine, not granite, but something else. Bright with acidity, some tennis, not faded, fruity but in a hard way to put my finger on. Many reviewers have cited carry component and that seems as close that I can agree with. Light colored, not dense in mouth or in glass. Feel would be excellent with greasy food, such as steak or lamb, but had instead with fish. My research indicates these wines age for many years, which surprised me, because I didn't think there was much here to begin with to evolve, but again not familiar with Jura. One the fence with this one, but wasn't horrid either, and I did end up drinking it all.

Re-read my post, lots of spell check corrections I didn't see, my bad there. Based on what I experienced with this wine, in agreement that this should be consumed within 10 years.
