Dark purple almost black, sweet spicy black cherry nose, heavily extracted, does any Pinot Noir deserve 14.5% alcohol? A clumsy brute next to a Burgundy Grand Cru, a Burgundy Premier Cru, an Oregon PN and a German Spätburgunder, even worse than a 2009 KB RRV! A poster child of what a Pinot should not be.

A syrupy mess. Tastes like port but no port!
