Fresh cherry fruit nose with a little mushroom earth. Very pretty translucent garnet color. Soft sour cherry fresh fruit on the palate with nicely balanced but tart acidity and medium length cherry and subtle vanilla finish.

100% new oak but can barely tell. amazing nose and creamy/velvet in the mouth with a long long finish. the pinot fruit shines here. i liked better than the mazy. will be great in 5-10+ years.

This really brought elegance and depth of a Grand Cru. I spent some time on the nose and the little time I had to taste this only showed that the nose had different layers that were still somewhat restrained. Young fresh Pinot fruit that was almost entirely on the pure side- even though this is 100% new oak! This is another example of fantastic structure that '08 is showing. Bult to last many years.
