  13,5% alcohol.
  
  Slightly hazy and surprisingly evolved dark red color with a brownish mahogany hue. The nose feels sweetish, dull and somewhat oxidative with aromas of meat stew, raisins, some cardboard, light soy sauce tones, a little bit of dried figs, a volatile hint of ether and a touch of black tea. It feels like the wine is past its peak. It is dry, quite bitter and rather flat on the palate with a medium body and quite oxidative flavors of tart cranberries, some cardboard, a little bit of raisin, light notes of dried dates, a hint of earth and a nutty touch of rancio. High in acidity with moderately grippy medium tannins. The finish is dry, bitter and short with flavor of crunchy cranberries, some oxidative notes of cardboard, light raisiny tones, a sharp hint of soy sauce and a touch of nutty rancio.
  
  A young Pinot Noir suffering from a bad case of premox. Good, firm and rather tightly-knit structure, but a flat taste that is almost completely in pieces. I guess this could've been a wonderful, structure-driven wine had it been in pristine condition, but this was just disappointing.

  Cherries and lots of dried herbs on the palate. Great acidity and soft tannins. Already in a great spot right now but can easily age another 6-10 years.
