  Pinot un peu atypique et rustique.
  De la canneberge, du cuir, de la terre
  et un peu de vanille.
  Pas vraiment long et assez suave, sans accroc.
  Correct.

  Absolument sublime ! Wow quelle belle surprise !
  Un beau fruit rouge mure ( méthode appasimento ) merveilleusement bien équilibré avec l'acidité, au point ou personne pouvait dire que le vin était plus 'sucrée,riche " longue finale aromatique, pas le plus complexe mais un profil tellement bon et agréable a boire. Personnellement il fut mon vin de la soirée !
  Magnifique !

  Was not a fan after the first sip, but as the wine airs it develops beautifully. Will try a decanter next time.

  This wine shows a medium garnet red color. On the nose are aromas of spice, dried cranberry, cherry, and red currants, vanilla bean, hints of tobacco, leather, and roasted walnut. On the palate the wine’s fruit, oak, acidity, and silky tannins are well balanced. Flavors of cherry, cranberry, cola, and leather follow through to a very long, complex, and elegant finish. Food pairing suggestions include duck confit, cedar plank salmon, roasted chicken, mushroom risotto, stuffed pork tenderloin, turkey, and lamb. 20% of the grapes were dried in the appassimento style before pressing. The wine was then aged for 16 months on lees in select French oak barrels before bottling.
