November 5, 2023 - pretty gamey and meaty, with a little barnyard feel.

January 27, 2014 - Bright deepish red, raspberry and macerated cherry fruit, some vanilla oak, a bit of tannin. Certainly pinot, but very much fruit dominated and 'new world'. Nice, but lacks acidity and not sure it will develop much complexity. As such it is a very pleasant fruit-dominated pinot, but to my palate fairly simplistic. And not worth a highish price tag.

September 17, 2011 - Outstanding Pinot Noir from Argentina that has a powerful nose and taste of mixed strawberries, a touch of spice and cherries. Unusually concentrated for a Pinot Noir, well balanced and very well made.

April 5, 2011 - Blind Wines (Paprika): Poured blind. This was a shocker not only because of how it tastes in isolation but how different it tastes from the Treinta y Dos from the same winery. I didn't sense any family resemblance whatsoever between the two and didn't consider for a second that this might even be pinot noir. I kept wavering between modernist Barolo and modernist Tuscan and I think that's where most people were on this. This had more oak and more grippy tannin than the Treinta y Dos and less fruit sweetness and gloss; the fruits were also redder while the Treinta y Dos was kind of blue-fruited. If you had asked me to guess which was the older-vine bottling I would have guessed this one unhesitatingly. Wrong. (These vines were planted in 1955, the other in 1932, hence the names.) But even though it tastes like a more serious wine it's a little unsettling how little it tastes like anything made from pinot noir.

April 2009 (link)(Bodega Chacra Pinot Noir Cincuenta y Cinco, Río Negro, Patagonia) Subtle and delicate, with notes of cumin, turmeric, chalk, cranberry, red rose, pomegranate, lemon, and violet, this complex, distinctive Pinot Noir displays the beautiful silk and perfume of Burgundy after some coaxing. Once it opens up, it shows more berry fruit and gentle, spicy oak flavors and tannins. Named for the year in which the vines were planted (’55), this Pinot is fermented exclusively in the egg-shaped cement vats that are popping up all over the place. Incisa della Rochetta is raising a few eyebrows with his pricing—this is the most expensive wine I have seen from Argentina. Special Report: Argentina
