Bottle is in great shape, not corked like the last one. Soft red fruit in front of an herb + earth core and finishing with medium acidity. Tannins are pillow soft, fully integrated. Personality is gentle but with subtle electricity, a good contrast with some of the Copains we've had from Anderson Valley which are often crunchy and bold. I like those, and, this is something else entirely... delicious!

By the bottle at Atrium in Brooklyn. Nose is ripe and full, definitely new world but not oaky or fat; ripe blackberries, dark cherry, dusty earth. Palate is smooth and rich but not over the top, notes of sage, rosemary, blackberry liquer, super delicious. Great finish, perfect with roast chicken. LIOCO is killing it.

This was gifted and opened at a dinner party, so I didn't take formal notes. But from memory this was drinking really well -- elegant and well balanced, and a wonderful pairing with mushroom galette. Exactly what I look for in Lioco.

Pleasant but pretty sweet for a Pinot Noir.

Black fruit, dense core with forest floor, unfortunately this bottle was very badly corked.
