  Burnt hair and strawberry on the nose, very light and slightly mousy palate. Not impressed.

  Pinot Noir from a vineyard planted in 2006. Grapes are fermented as whole bunches starting with carbonic maceration, followed by conventional fermentation with indigenous yeasts. Aged for a year in tronconic oak vats. Vinified without any SO2. 12% alcohol. Tasted fully blind in a "Burgundy or not Burgundy?" tasting.
  
  Pale, very translucent and slightly hazy raspberry red color with a thin, colorless rim. Rather wild and not particularly pleasant nose with aromas of animal funk, some burnt hair, light autumnal notes of damp forest, a little bit of red gooseberry and a hint of wild strawberry. The wine is lively, wild and acid-driven with a streak of mousiness that pops up already on the midpalate, not on the aftertaste! Flavors of burnt hair, some rancid sesame seed, light wild strawberry tones, a little bit of nuttiness and a hint of decomposing wood. Firm, mouthwatering acidity and no tannins whatsoever. Unclean, acid-driven aftertaste with a short and very unpleasantly mousy aftertaste.
  
  Ugh. Probably the most disappointing estate-fruit Ganevat I've tasted. People who tasted this right upon opening said the wine was very wild but nevertheless enjoyable and fully drinkable right after popping the cork. However, after some time the wine turns almost horribly mousy and thus becomes virtually undrinkable. Drink any bottles you have right after opening. My score reflects how the wine was after some time the wine had been opened, so perhaps it is better if drunk sooner. Nevertheless, at 56€ this feels very overpriced for the quality. Nothing unlike the spectacular white Les Grands Teppes.
