  I was really looking forward to sharing this wine with friends. Opened and let it air for about two hours. We all agreed the wine was blah. I have had better $20 bottles of PN. Too bad the first DDLC experience wasn't good. Possibly, a flawed bottle.

  OK, dette var bra. Også var det eksempel på hvor lunefull pinot-druen kan være.
  
  Nydelig fra åpning - Vosne-aktig svart fruktkjerne, elegant i munnen, middels fylde, deilig glassaktik, lekker fruktstruktur. Små lilla hint - plommer, solbær, litt bringebær, virkelig bra.Så blir 3/4 glass stående litt i Zalto burgund - og lekkerheten sklir over i ganske usexy eikebanan.
  
  Ned i flaske igjen, inn i kjøleskapet, legging av unger. 1,5 t seinere er alt bra igjen - og den svarte fruktkjernen er krydret opp med eksotisk spice og kledelig eiketouch.
  Dagen etter, etter 24t i kjøleskap m. alufolie, er ting helt nydelig på plass. Frukten er rødere, eik og krydder perfekt supplement. Lekker, lang, kjølig utgang.

  This was great, and still has upside. Very pretty nose with strawberries, cream, cherry, raspberry, flowers. Low tannins, nice and fresh acidity and a long finish. Good stuff, with one or two points upside for those with patience.

  Wow, the hype is real. My first time with this producer. This is now the fifth wine I've rated 97, the highest rating I've given so far, out of around 1,200 mostly distinct bottles on CT over the last number of years. Essentially perfect for my palate, even at this early stage, and excellent QPR for the quality IMO, even with the high price (we got it for around $100.) No decant, enjoyed over a number of hours.
  
  Explosive, but not heavy or rich at all- the laser beam kind of focused nose that really painted a vivid picture. Smelled so much like fresh, ripe strawberries and cream over biscuits, that kind of perfectly balanced pink fruit and extremely subtle oak, but eaten at a picnic in a coastal pine forest, with that bright conifer and salty sea air billowing around. Those tiny whole cluster nuances were so beautifully integrated, very clear, and absolutely never in the way. The nose felt very deeply pitched but still brightly colored, if that makes sense. Some beautiful hints of flowers too, roses, etc. The kind of nose that I could just huff all day.
  
  The palate really followed suit, a burst of gently weighty pure strawberry and bright earthy/floral shades, fresh and invigorating with lively, breezy acidity. This aspect was also incredibly well integrated, vibrant, but never once puckery or tart. There's some gentle structure, already very fine-grained, certainly capable of aging, but not needing it. The finish was another real highlight, as the fruit faded- making room for this dark, stony kind of minerality, almost like petrichor, that was mostly hidden on the nose. So crystalline and refreshing. Just wow.
