Quite delicious out of the gate. med intensity plums, red and black fruit, black tea, forest floor aromas. Follows through in the mouth with nicely balancing acidity and integrated tannins. Happy purchase and happy tasting. Hope to check in again on this btl tomorrow or next day with refrigeration in between.
Didn’t get back to this until 3 days later and the refrigerated wine had deteriorated a bit by then.

Fairly deep ruby, fading a bit pale. Pleasant nose with classic Pinot character, and a touch of tertiary sous-bois type development, which picks up with more air, mostly adding complexity but not detracting. Quite sweet red berry fruit still on the palate, with just a touch of earth like character. My gut feel is one to drink now, but is this is pretty nice and at €24, it is excellent value. 89-90pts

Magnum bottle. Excellent showing for this village level wine, with lovely texture and structure. Lots of mineral notes over cherry and rhubarb fruit notes. Group favorite at a farewell dinner.

Advice from SommSelect to decant for one hour was actually spot on. “On the pallet, the wine is medium-plus in body with a sweet core of wild berries, wet flowers, and crushed stone that all leads into a long, savory finish.” - Ian Cauble, Master Sommelier

Fading a bit. Drink now. Earthy & feral without much fruit.
