What a great pleasure to finally try this wine and what a shame that this was my last (of only 2) bottle. Lively bright pale yellow color, looking much younger than its years. Crisp clean nose of freshly cut apples, very slight scent of lemon, refreshing. Similarly crisp and clean on the palate, great acidity for all types of food. Even better the next day (pumped with vacuvin). Nice apple-lemony cleansing mouthfeel continues down the throat. Very good body.

Very light raspberry color, not deep. Promising nose of black cherry and raspberry, but very light and acidic on the palate. Not much fruit at all. Tannic, tart, lacking fruit. Tight, dry, taught finish.

Crisp black cherry nose, rich mouthfeel probably from the stated 16.1% alcohol. Great spice notes. Had this with barbequed baby backs and the pure fruit stood up to the salty, sweet sauce. Great zin from a famous pinot house.
