Interesting comparison to a recently consumed '95 H-N village wine. Similar red fruit soft nose, but much more balanced palate, with some remaining fruit, length and a hint of earthiness. Not a great wine but an enjoyable drink with some sharp cheese. I'd peg this also as beyond its peak, but still with some pleasure to yield.

Dark fruit Pinot noir with not enough acidity for my palate. Definitely from a warm vintage, which is the overall impression of the wine. Worked well with our filet of prime rib. My 2nd and last bottle of this with consistent tasting notes

Interesting wine. Dark, with maybe a very light touch of oak. Maybe more MSD in style. Floral with savory notes. But overall this could pass for an elegant Northern syrah. Actually a friend guessed it as a Thierry Allemand syrah...Can hold a few more years without any problem.
