  13,5% alcohol, 2 g/l residual sugar, 5,4 g/l acidity. Tasted blind in VV.
  
  Pale and quite youthful raspberry red color. Open and expressive but also rather simple nose with vibrant aromas of sweet cherries and cranberries along with some brambly raspberry tones and a hint of reductive rubber. The wine is medium-bodied and somewhat soft on the palate with quite light and even a bit dilute flavors of ripe red cherries and raspberries along with some earthy spice and a hint of sour cherry bitterness. The acidity feels medium-to-moderately high and the tannins are very light and gentle. The finish is medium in length with ripe yet quite crunchy red fruit flavors, some sour cherry bitterness and a hint of earthy spice.
  
  A simple and straightforward everyday Pinot Noir. Nothing bad, but lacking the playfulness and freshness I look for in a good Pinot. This is just very foursquare weekday wine with very little of anything to keep me engaged. Priced somewhat according to its quality at 10,40€.
