Light ruby/orange color with clear rim. Nose: persimmon and strawberry with accents of wet clay, iron, cinnamon, and clove. Medium/lighter body on the palate: persimmon, strawberry, and red plum framed by clay, iron, cinnamon, and orange peel. Aggressive acidity. Moderate tannins. Lingering clay, iron, orange peel, and cinnamon on the moderate, bone-dry finish. Excellent flavor intensity. Old-world character with a fantastic mineral backbone. Reminiscent of a good Nuits-St-Georges. Give it a few more years in the cellar and see what happens. Awesome PN value.

Light & not very fruity. Almost like a Chianti, notes of cut grass or hay

Very simple, very drinkable. Certainly has varietal character and is restrained. Soft.

Paid $13, tastes like $13. Nothing spectacular but at least is got a tiny bit of varietal character. TINY.
