  June 28, 2022 - Bottle opened one hour before lunch. Short cork in good condition. Beautiful ruby colour. Sediments from the first drop in the glass. It could be that in the early times these pinot sought to be inspired by Burgundian wines but today it is clearly from the New World, which is not always bad, with those menthol notes, smoked cherry wood, flesh and geranium flowers. Precious aromatic complexity, well above its Californian peers. On the contrary, on the palate acidity stands out over its weak structure and its watery texture. Smoky sensation on the throat during aftertaste with a moderate persistence.
  
  Botella abierta una hora antes del almuerzo. Corcho corto en buen estado. Bello color rubí. Sedimentos desde el primer chorro en la copa. Pudiera ser que en los primeros tiempos estos pinot buscase inspirarse en los vinos borgoñones pero hoy en día es claramente del Nuevo Mundo, lo cual no siempre es malo, con esas notas mentoladas, de madera de cerezo ahumado, de carne fresca y de flores de geranios. Preciosa complejidad aromática, muy por encima de sus pares californianos. Por el contrario, al paladar la acidez sobresale sobre su débil estructura y su acuosa textura. Sensación ahumada en la garganta durante el retrogusto y una moderada persistencia.

  September 16, 2020 - Really lovely with smoke, red currant, cherry, vanilla. Creamy in the mouth towards the finish with touch of strawberry. Glad we kept this and enjoyed a bit later in its life.

  November 19, 2018 - Classic ABC SB, deep red fruit, cherries and strawberries but with elegance/acidity. Very light on earth notes. Nice texture, good balance. Good QPR to me.
