The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are slow. There is no sediment in the bottle. It tastes like raspberry, strawberry jam and strawberry. The body is medium. The wine has polished texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has low acidity.

Pinot noir un peu trop vert à mon goût. Sur la violette et les petits fruits. Peu complexe et demande à être décanté de 30min à 1h. À ce prix, il y a nombreux pinot sur le marché qui en donne plus.

What TK Masters said. I would add well restrained and it came into its own with some time in the glass. Raspberries acidity and tartness. I'd buy again as it's one of the better PNs for the price.

Notes of dusty cedar on the nose, with a hint of floral character. Mouthfeel is soft with more floral characteristics transitioning to the palate. Mid has a vagueness and slight medicinal quality is experienced on the finish. Probably a bit better out there at this price point but not bad overall.

Ruby color with restrained raspberry, earth and a bit of spice aromas. On the palate it's medium-bodied showing a nice balance of fruit, acid and tannins with raspberry, strawberry, earth and pronounced spice flavors. Med finish. A relatively good value @$26.

Light-to-medium ruby, fresh and softly tannic, there is nothing objectionable to this light-to-medium-bodied Pinot Noir. That said, the aromas and flavors of raspberries, earth and baking spices are simple and somewhat muted. The wine is persistent in the middle and the alcohol (reported as 14.5%) is nicely integrated. Medium in length on the finish, it is a relatively good value but not in the upper echelon of Pinot Noir offerings. Drink now-2018.

This is still showing well. An impressive Pinot for the price. I’m glad I still have 2 left. Great with chestnuts

Moindre qualité que la crema. Léger goût de vanille. Nez très floral et goût également. Pas boisé et léger. Bon rapport qualité prix.

Decent pinot noir - medium bodied - can go very well with pasta - less so with steak ...

TOTAL: 88+/100
