Quite good, just that it is both a fruit and a oak bomb. An elegant bazooka

Good but my steak had a hard time keeping up with it.

4/15/2018 - leonardo_de_araujo Does not like this wine:

Quite disappointed. This pushes too far where pinots can go. This is a fruit bomb. In no way elegant.
If you like pinots that are as expressive as some light zinfandels, this is your wine.

Bright acidity almost hides the elegant oak presence. With 10% new barrel for 10 months , this wine is Oaked but just right. Bright acidity takes this far from the oak monster. Liked it a lot

What a nose. Had it 4 years ago and was impressed by it. I am still.
Juicy dark plums.
Softer, elegant, present acidity. Still great and not in decline but got in elegance and lost in power

Awesome. Just be careful about eating with anything spicy. At 15.6 % alcohol, at borderline port, this baby puts you mouth on fire!!! ;-)

Off dry. Honest. It was a great fit last night for post dinner / desert. Finishing it now for lunch. The offdry aspect bothers a little but still fine.

Black fruit, tobacco, plums, chocolate
Sweet nose,
Great fruit concentrationand bright acidity. High alcohol.
Reminds me of a port... well, with 16.5% alcohol, I can see the link ;-)
But an awesome wine for sure

Passion fruit, oranges. Bee wax and vitamin c ....
Bright acidity and yet approachable tanning a (green notes) so this makes it one of the most approachable orange wines I've ever tasted

It smells like black pepper and meaty. The wine looks ruby coloured. The legs are slow. There is no sediment in the bottle.

Cooked fruits. Cherries and prunes.

Still long with a persistent and evolving finish.
And I thought this would be dead....

Not as much petrol on the nose but a very decent Riesling
