Almost a dark purple through to the rim, no bricking at all. Poured into my ginormous Riedel Somm Burg glass. This stuff has a nose...blinded there is no way this is a cali pinot, its Vosne...earthy high toned red fruits underbrush and asian spice. Tart and sour cherry with strawberry with a bit of floral component. Love the spice component i find so pleasing in most VR burgs, and plenty of acid left to frame the fruit.
Just keep sticking my nose into the glass its so complex and intriguing. This is what I love about good Pinot with a little bit of age on them.....killer

Lots of sous bois, sandalwood, damp earth, rasberry and cinnamon spice on the nose. Core of rasberry, tart and almost jolly rancher-ish but in a positive way, full of bright fruit. Fun to drink and very enjoyable.

Very enjoyable bottle from a producer I was not familiar with. Not quite sure what the blend was but the Sangiovese shone through. Lovely dusty black fruits with plums and violet hints and a fair degree of spice. Tannins were velvety and very integrated. A pleasant surprise.
