PnP at Aurora in Rye. I've tasted this lovely burg before, and my notes are mostly consistent. Fairly generous nose of red fruit. There's red fruit--cherries and raspberries--earth and plenty of spice on the palate and lovely finish. Good acidity level, tannins are mostly resolved and alcohol level is not noticeable. Some tertiary notes: earth, wet soil, hint of mushroom. Unfortunately, the wine seemed slightly thinner than the last time tasted, and not at all rich or overly ripe, leading to a bit of a lower score here. Still, this is a very spicy, sexy pinot drinking well. Drink it now, and no decant needed

Drank after brief decanting last weekend in Copake. Delicious wine. Lovely, aromatic nose of bright red fruit and flowers. Plenty of fruit on the palate--ripe cherries and raspberries--along with lots of pepper, earth and spice. Quite concentrated, elegant and complex, with a lovely, long finish. Great burg!

For Amoureuses, the palate is light and lacks delineation.
