At Chateau Davyd. Tasted blind. pop and poured. Appearance is clear, pale intensity, garnet colour. Legs. Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of soy sauce, roasted coffee beans, burnt/scorched black fruit, stewed cherries. Developed. On the palate, dry, medium+ acidity, medium+ alcohol, medium tannins, medium+ body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of roasted coffee beans, sweet baked black cherry jam, soy sauce. Medium+ finish. A bit over the hill already. Did not really enjoy the stewed fruit character. May have been more enjoyable few years' ago.

APPEARANCE: Nice claret color. Pinot-like for sure AROMA: Wild strawberries, wet rock, toasted oak and after an hour open - caramel TASTE: Velvet and silk. Pepper, leather and wild strawberries. A wonderful Pinot.

2011 Philadelphia Wine Festival (Marriott, Philadelphia PA): simple and fruity, this turned a bit sour on the med(-) finish.
