A pretty, perfumed and quite elegant nose of liqueur-like red and blue berry fruit aromas is trimmed in soft earth and spice nuances. There is fine concentration to the sleek, delicious and intense middle weight flavors that possess an attractively textured mouthfeel and fine length on the mildly austere and dusty finale. This softly stony effort will need to add depth to achieve the upper end of my projected range.
Fleshy and dense fruits. Intense and full on the palate for Pinot Noir; big tannins and ripe fruit working together. Grippy but the fruit is what shines through in this warm vintage. Very well put together, for those who like the bite of tannin and acid. (TP)
