on pnp it felt closed and or faded, it opened up reasonably well over a 3 hour decant... typical '96 with the acidity in the front, and the fruit in the back... very elegant and only med minus bodied... red fruit... very nice but if you like any "bold" / "big" in your pinot this is not the burg for you... probably will hold at this level for a long time, but I don't think improve

The color is not the typical of a burgundy,it is darker and more clear.the nose is strong with matured red fruits aromas .it has medium to high acidity with nice aftertaste.Drink now do not wait any longer.

Farewell for now: Licorice, cherry, talc, cranberry, roses and violets on the nose - quite deep and perfumed aromas. Rather primary on the palate still, there is a clear and bright red fruit character throughout, along with good texture and depth. Really lovely wine, developing very slowly.

fresh, round, balanced, red berries with some violet and licorice. Refreshing acidity. I guessed younger as 2002. 93
