Mild reductive notes. Low end red Burgundy from a great vintage. Tannin fully resolved and drinking at peak, but will hold on it's plane of maturity. A little "green".

Much better than my last experience with this wine. Fragrant pinot noir nose. Mild reductive notes. Good fruit on the palate, but somewhat dominated by acidity. Just entering it's drinking window. Significant upside.

Perplexing wine. Nose of gorgeous fruit springs from the bottle and glass upon opening. Wonderfully fruity initially on the palate, but the character changes rapidly, and soon the nose turns to alcohol, and reductive notes and green stemmy tannins dominate the flavor profile/. Bought upon release and stored in a temperature controlled cellar (60 degrees F maximum) Think I'll cork this up and see how it does tomorrow. Addendum: -- Not much better on day 2. Reductive notes have disappeared, alcohol lessened, but tastes thin and devoid of elegance. Will hold remaining bottles and hope for the best. Maybe an 87-88 today

An extremely aromatic wine - wonderful cherry and violet nose; brisk acidity but well balanced. Light to medium body.
