The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are fast. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like blackberry, cedar, cinnamon, clove, stoniness and eucalyptus. It tastes like stoniness, cinnamon, clove and tobacco. The body is light/medium. The wine has juicy texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity.

Alright, my love afair with this wine is eroding. This is a very traditional and interesting peasant wine. But it is a peasant wine. It goes great with food, is light and balanced. I'm not sure how to score that.

A beautiful dark ruby pinot noir like color. This is not a highfalutin. Instead, it is purposeful, traditional and terrior-driven. Nice funk on the nose. There is some powdery feminine red fruit. There is also a bit of greenness present, that is more vegetal (not dill or bell pepper). This manages to stay fresh when served at a low temperature. There is a lot going on in this wine. I like the leanness and structure.

Maybe my 90 was a bit exuberant, but this is a very drinkable wine with a great history. Consistent with previous note.
