Slightly corked, I think. There’s a good freshness there, the fruit is cool with unripe strawberry and herbs, minerals and black but there is this harsh murky note that I at first thought was unintegrated oak, but now think is a murky TCA note. So either corked or in a very odd phase. Will give it a pass and call it corked.

Worth it for the nose alone; cool fresh classic Pinot nose with a wee bit of funk, nice light line of acidity and savoury red fruit. Acidity tightens in reasonably long finish. Volnay-like. Great value

Drink now for it's youthful exuberance. Beautiful forthcoming pinot nose. Well balanced palate, redolent with pinot noir fruit, good acidity and minimal oak. Long satisfying finish, reflecting all the good stuff on the palate.
