  Gave it an hour of aeration. Main fruit is red currant with some raspberry added, acidity and tannins are good and balanced, so that it has enough grip to be a good wine for the right food. Body is actually on the lighter side.
  
  I chose it as a companion to a veal entrecôte with a cream sauce based on green pepper and mushrooms.
  
  Normally I would choose a chardonnay for this meal, but I‘m more into red wines at the moment, but to be honest normally not into Pinot Noir. But I categorised the meal as nearly burgundy, so I gave this bottle a chance. And from this point of view and in combination with that food it worked very well for me. But I wouldn’t drink it solo to be honest. I think it needs a fitting context to work out and in my opinion this context should be as light as the wine‘s body.

  I found it much better now. I guess it needed a little cellaring. Nice red pinot fruits, well balanced with some concentration and freshness.

  Bof… lovely fruits but light and thin. No bad flavors, just not delivering much. It’s pleasing with the right food but not excellent.
