Deftly fruited with some earthy tones creeping in at 12 years old. Fabulous length and spicy complexity on the finish. Muscular but sinuously so. For the appellation this is rather elegant!

Had a wine exchange with a friend - one third of this for one-third of my 08 giuseppe mascarello monprivato. What a beautiful yet muscular expression of pinot this was! But unmistakably burgundy. Enjoyable nose of intense black cherries and berries, dark flowers and maybe some earth and sauvage notes? But on the palate was where this baby really shone - smooth and silky, with fine tannins. Loved the acid and the long, lingering finish. Wow. 94 points.

Beautifully deep and rounded nose which has complex layers of plush dark fruit and smoky overtones. Achingly pretty. Palate is silky and supple with fantastic acid structure and impressive length. Sleek and modern yet understated and utterly complete.

Exhilarating. Pours translucent, addictive smoke nose, animal, leather. Long. Superb
