In the mouth it is focused, concentrated and delicious with spicy fruitiness, nice elegance evident in the mid-palate, oaky and smooth on the finish. A little more earthiness and complexity and this shoots easily to three stars strong. Nose is elegant, juicy, alluring, even after the 20 Pinots before it. In the mouth the wine is smooth and refined with great elegance, oak and vanilla on a long, but tight, finish. Nice effort, admirable concentration.
Nose shows vanilla, cherry, red berries, some rich spice.
In the mouth the wine has admirable intensity, yet is still tight and rather angular. Not overtly complex, but quite tasty. Earthy and elegant with great length of finish. Light bodied, feminine, compelling juice, with nice elegance in the middle and drinking rather well. Nose shows sweet red fruits, quite enticing with a hint of sagey herb.
