PNP. cork perfect. color light ruby with no signs of age. nose shows strawberry, cranberry and maybe some rhubarb. swishing shows acid>tannin for structure but both present and keep this bright. sipping shows the core of bright red fruit but nice polish (glycerin i think) that keeps the structure muted. finish is med length and gets a little stemmy. Very nice and agree is drinking now but also showing no sign of decline if one was inclined to be patient

I've always liked these, and last night's bottle was no exception. Lighter red fruited, elegant, with subtle spice. It's in a very good drinking window at the moment.

De Villaine Style quiet rustic and one of those wines which impress without any effort. Bright red fruit, lots of pepper and some tobacco. Sharp acidity. Almost dusty chalkiness. I guess you could keep this for a few more years but it drinks great now.

Same notes as my last bottle: It is a delicate pinot noir, and very delicious to drink right now. It has lovely strawberry fruit, a little vanilla and a light red, almost pink color to it. It is mature and should be enjoyed relatively soon.

It is mature and no need to wait to pull the corks; however, I am sure that this vintage will last a few more years.
