This exceeded expectations for me. Nose is fruit-forward and appealingly perfumed, though not big or powerful. Shows just-ripe cherries, strawberries and raspberries. Perhaps a little green and stalky at first, but this improves after a few minutes in the glass. Palate is super juicy and acid-driven, but in a balanced way…not at all sour. Very lightly structured, with only a gentle suggestion of tannic grip on the finish. I can’t see these being very long-lived. If I had more, I’d enjoy them while those gorgeous fruits are at their most seductive.

Decent Pinot Noir, yet not one that stands out. Still a bit young and acidic. One of my first ventures out to burgundy but prefer a bunch of similarly priced Swiss pinots over this one.

Acidic and not great balance. Still a decent pinot.

A bit tight and tannic; bitter fruit and some hot alcohol on the finish.
