Revisited this, and it reconfirmed my love of this wine. remarkable for it’s purity, delineation and deliciousness....it expresses the essence of Pinot Noir. Not a hair out of place, it oozes red berry goodness on every sip...96+ points tonight, the nose wasn’t quite as forthcoming as the palate

a stunner which marries power, precision and elegance. While primary with layers of red berry and minerals there's a soft earthiness which hints and how good it will be when the secondary characteristics kick in. Real nice energy in a long finish. 94-95, I erred on the high end

Beautiful perfume of roses and strawberries requires no coaxing. There's ripeness and succulence to go along with tart red fruit (cherry and cranberry) and a nice minerality. At first some effervescence to the acidity but it blew off quickly. Very nice

Opened and let sit for maybe 45 minutes ahead of pouring. Somewhat reticent nose. Very minerally on the palate with rich blue fruit, giving it very appealing kind of bloody berry flavor. Very round and rich with a 30+ second finish. Still room to develop but lovely now.

Roses, raspberry and cherry succulence. Not as complex as Liger Belair Ech, but held up very well side by side. Still primary, 94-95 points
