Deep, dark, lush, full bodied, Moreno cherry, eucalyptus, mint, herbs. 14% quite punchy. Drunk over 2 nights. Held up under vacuvon but best on first night.

outshone by a Kusuda 2013 partnered with it but nonetheless an enjoyable wine. deep and brooding with kirsh notes and a touch of smokiness. moderate acidity and tannin Drinks perfectly fine now but I will try not to revisit mine for another 5 years to mellow a little and develop some more tertiaries

This has improved very well since about a year ago. Love the barnyard cherry 🐖🍒 smell on this😜. Palette is pure, medium bodied with mellow integrated tannins. Almost velvet. Also gained in complexity since last tasting. Really like this bottle. Definitly 93+.

A completely different experience than previous bottles opened last year. PnP and the first few glasses i felt like i was drinking a cool vintage Cab Sauv from Napa. Wonderful inky and flinty palette with dark fruit. Then the last couple of glasses it totally flipped to a burgundian NSG style punchy fruit cored pinot and pungent earthiness. While at no time the wine could be characterised as complex, it was nonetheless a fun bottle to drink.

Decanted 1 hour, served at 16C. Very dark cherry colour, med to full body. Still quite alcoholic, warm and generous. Opens with black cherries, toasty notes and vanilla with some barnyard joining a bit later. Acidity is lively though partly flattened by grape ripeness. As others have mentioned before, seriously overoaked and needs more cellaring for better integration. Maybe also will gain complexity with time. As for now, it’s quite nice already as an example of Pinot from very warm climate. Paired well with marbled rib-eye.

This bottle drank much better than my previous bottle a month ago. I was surprised at the bottle variation. This one had its oak all absorbed. It had a wonderful mineral and savoury/saline quality to it. The consensus was this was comparable to a Cote de Nuits 1er Cru. Highly recommend if you can get your hands on it.

Very intens nose of ripe cherries and barnyard. Upfront it tastes fruity, plenty of sour cherries, medium to full bodied showing ripe tannins and quite some acidity towards the end. It held very well into the second day, so I am inclined to say this will keep a few years longer.

Abundant nose of ripe cherries, coca cola and hints of vanilla. Medium to full bodied, concentrated ripe cherries, good acidity and gripping tannin to keep the fruit in check. Oak is quite well integrated. Still feels young and fresh. I would have loved to see a bit more complexity, perhaps it will come with age. For me, the previous tasting notes are a bit too harsh; 92+. Though my scale ranges to 100, while many pinot noir/burgundy tasters seem to max out at 95 or so.

Alcohol 14,5%, acidity 6,1 g/l. Tasted blind in VV.
Youthful, almost completely opaque cherry red color. Fragrant and attractive, albeit rather modern and somewhat toasty nose with earthy and savory aromas of red-toned Pinosity, some toasty wood character, a little bit of dark chocolate, a hint of plummy fruit and a touch of mocha coffee. The wine is full-bodied, lively and rather acid-driven on the palate with intense flavors of sweet, toasted wood, some earthy red-fruited Pinosity, a little bit of savory wood, a hint of chocolate and a touch of of espresso. The wine feels pretty structured, not only because of its high acidity, but also because of its ample and quite firm tannins. The finish is very long, somewhat grippy and quite powerful with savory flavors of peppery Pinosity, acid-driven tart red fruits, some mocha oak, a little bit of bittersweet dark chocolate and a touch of savory wood spice.
A big, powerful and balanced modernist Pinot which is way too heavily oaked for my taste, but which shows very high-quality wine under all the glossy sheen. If you could take all the excessive oak away, the remaining wine would undoubtedly be very impressive and balanced. Seeing how the wine shows good aging potential with its structure, balance and concentration, the wine might be able to live long enough to see most of the oak integrated with the fruit. However, there's so much oak here that I assume even two decades isn't going to be enough to get the fruit ahead of the oak. I wish the Chileans would learn that making high-quality wines doesn't necessary mean that the wines should be heavily over-oaked. Feels too expensive at 54,90€.

Pinot Noir fra Viña Conosur er en vidunderlig vin med kraftig rubinrød farve. Dens aromatiske egenskaber udfoldes delikat i den sorte frugt, der blandes med aromaer af hvide blomster, violer, søde krydderier med et strejf af chokolade. I munden elegant og intens, med noter af sød frugt, rig tekstur og koncentreret smag. Dens bløde tanniner er fulde og fantastiske, kronet af en lang og vedholdende finish.
OBS! Vinen har været åbent i 24 timer for at modne i flasken før den serveres. Drikkes den lige når den åbnet er den helt anderledes rå og ufærdig.

Enjoyed after 1h of decanter. At first quite reductive. After air nice aromas of herbs, cherries and black berries. Complex and intriguing.

Bright red fruits, some earth, leather, alas, too much toasty oak, acidic/tart. Not worth the money.

Monthly Tasting Group: Blind Pinots Worldwide (The Bungalow Club, Mpls): Drank a small glass blind over 30 minutes. Lost track of my note on this. Suffice it say I was not a fan. Seems green. Guessing NZ, not really close but was at least in the right hemisphere.
