  Deep purple, with a pretty nose of violets, pomegranate juice, sea spray, and lavender. In the mouth it's youthful, with toasted wood notes, pure blackberry, and dried flowers. Minerally acidity, with a tight structure. Fun to drink but could still use a little time.

  Popped and poured here and wow what a lovely wine. Comparing after a recent opening of Aubert UV. Pours dark crimson in glass with medium body. On the nose it’s waves of cherries and dried strawberries but on the palette the fruit is a support player. It has a dusty minerality with a dry cherry undertone. First class effort though not a fruit forward friendly Pinot.

  Ideal balance of fragrance on the nose , structure on the palate , and coming through with a long finish. Quite a beautiful, structured Pinot noir.

  Wonderful bouquet, lots of fruit and already well balanced. Serious citrus notes on the back end.

  Popped and poured this bottle and it pours a crimson red in the glass with medium body upon swirl. On the nose I’m picking up herbs and earthiness first with a touch of cherries. On the palette it drinks a tad tart with the cherries and lemon notes coming thru. I do pick up the tartness on the finish which is medium length. This offering reminds me of Maybach Irmgard in structure however much different in body and color.
