Medium golden medium body (13.5%) wine. Limited nose. After 1 hour the wine began to open and reveal soft apple and grapefruit with a slight hint of lemon. Pleasant finish. The wine is getting close to the end of its drinking window.

I took this bottle to a pinot noir wine snob group lunch. Everyone brought a high end pinot noir that varied on minerality and weight. The Chasseur was the biggest and everyone considered it the best.
