| COMMENTS: |
I'll start by saying that I am partial to Pinot Noir, especially when the wine is well balanced, yet complex. And this one was.
Gorgeous nose of cherries, truffles and earth that sets up similar flavors. A clean streak of acidity runs through the middle of this wine, bringing out a bing cherry aspect to the taste. Beautifully long finish. Light tannins. Drink it up now!

I am not too experienced with drinkning Burgundy, but I found this wine to be very nice. The nose immediately brought to mind truffles, followed by a nice fruity, floral character. Bit of spiciness, the wine seemed to be designed for balance, without any particular outstanding character.

| COMMENTS: |
The color has shown some aging from a lighter rim. A seductive nose revealing hints of red fruit. Spicy but soft, this wine has a silky texture along with a rose pedal like bouquet. A very charming and fine wine. Soft and caressing body without any sharp edge, this wine should be able to develop more complexity.
