Bright ruby robe; pinot qualities are muted at first, come out with time (though nothing like a bourgogne)--lacks linalool and much funk. Fruit forward cherry, red berries, some plum. Fairly acidic, good with food. I will wait a few months before trying again.

Weekly tasting group #057; The influence of oak. (@ WW): Transparent red. In the bouquet ripe red forest fruits. On the palate the same red fruits as well as red currants. A lot of acidity. A bit meager and green. Some minerals. Soft tannin. Short finish. Not my style.

Mismash of hasty impressions from Winebow and Regal Portfolio Tastings (NYC): Nose seems overripe with cocoa/stewed. Cedar from old wood elevage. Palate similar: pass. Not for me.

Getting better--smoother and more rounded and harmonious in the mouth.

huge brett, light, a touch of acidity but no Bandol, and a touch of minerality. Does nothing for me.
