the style has definitely changed. This used to be a very unique vineyard dominated by earth, forest floor, mushroom, that overshadowed the fruit. Not your typical Pinot Noir. This wine is very aromatic floral, spice with black cherry . Black fruits, a touch of earth. Very rich and full bodied. Long smooth finish. I don't dislike it, but it seems to fall in line with so many other Pinots instead of standing out as unique. Not sure if its the wine making style or the vines changing with age.

Engaging wine. Medium-big in flavor and affect. Lots of nice spice and savoriness alongside the bold fruit. Robust acid, too, keeping things in balance. Very good here in late '17; could imagine it holding and evolving into 2020.

Pretty medium red. Very good legs. Fragrant, spicy with black cherry fruit. Nice fruit, earthy, quite deep, rich, ripe and full. Long finish. 4-12-17-8: 91/100.

This needs time. Very sour and unfriendly at the moment. Not sweet, more french in style.
