  Again I was expecting more from this wine. Had some decent fruit but lacked complexity I would expect from this world class winery.

  Quite nice, medium body, a tad sour- thus better with food than solo. Excellent with our lamb chops for example.

  Chewy tannins, medium finish. Cran/Cherry/Plum fruit. OK wine.

  First, this is an extremely un-pinot like pinot noir. It has a merlot-like level of chewiness with notes of strong vanilla and stewed plum/blackberry lightly laced with fine black pepper. It fades relatively quickly but comes back 15 seconds or so with a finish of sweet blackberries and vanilla, which lasts a while. It has the slightest hint of effervescence (which one hopes will fade quickly) that is only apparent upon vigorous agitation of the tongue. (This is really a very un-pinot like pinot noir). Caveat: tried on a Delta flight from Atlanta to London.
