way better than the price but you have to like a BIG pinot ... this is not for the lover of lithe and subtle pinot ... i thought way better than expected

this was tasted same time as Le Cadeau Cote Est 2010. Very different obviously - much richer, more fruit in the front and just much more structured. However, the structure was a bit wobbly ... just did not fully come together after that first fruit (a bit of cherry / berry that was a great tease ... the follow thru just didn't live up to the tease)

Fantastic bottle. A testament in explanation of Sonoma Coast > Russian River. Even had stamina for day #2. Midnight red hue. Rich, chunky black cherry, little mineral, faint Italian cooking spices. Day #2 was dry cherry liqueur with light finish despite weighty mouthfeel. 93/A = 50/5/12/9/9/8

Seemed to improve on day 2. Solid pinot, but nothing too special. Will hold the rest for a few years.
