  Displays a pale ruby hue and offers a nose rich in cherries and strawberries, with a hint of barnyard adding depth. On the palate, it reveals a pleasing tartness and notable acidity, leading to a smooth tasting experience with a prolonged finish. While this Pinot Noir is solidly structured, it doesn't quite reach the heights of extraordinary, remaining a well-crafted but not exceptional representation of its terroir.

  Quite disappointing next to the Damodes of the same vintage. Strongly marked by acidity (VA?) that dominates what seems to be an otherwise good wine. Can't tell if this is a flawed bottle or not; the next day it was in the same state of drinkable but not particularly nitce.

  Nice aromatic complexity - quite spicy like a vosne romanee- and good mid-weight in the mouth. Fairly silky and dark red fruits at first, after 30-45 minutes the tannins became more apparent and shortened the wine. Clearly has the material to age 5-10 more years or more but in drinking window.

  Really good tonight with abundant dark red fruit, earth, sous bois and Asian spice. Very good depth and complexity for its level. To my tastes this in its perfect drinking window. Opened, not decanted, for about 3 hours.

  Good but not at the level of previous bottles. Seemed much more developed with the fruit having lost its freshness and brightness leading to more pronounced notes of earth, leather and oak. Tannins fully integrated. Need to retaste.
