Having said that this is a decent wine. Not a Bonnes Mares level wine but decent. The concentrated is quite impressive, with ripe red fruit, cherries, still a not fully integrated oak, and a broad profile. The tannins are still there and the wine has great grip. Finish is of good length.

so good wine but for the price could have gotten a bit more.]]>

Not that I am looking for burgundy all the time, I love trying new stuff, but this thing tastes like a softdrink versison of Burgundy. Nice texture to be sure cranberry, stemmy, but distinct flavors versus a nicely integrated whole.

Better tasters than I am love this wine so it must be good, but it's just not a good fit for my palate.]]>

Shared with a group of friends who coincidentally had pulled out 2 other Pinots for dinner. One was a splendid Burg that I will post on later. The interesting thing was that they were all very different. This one was the most pronounced of the new world Pinots. Nose was frangrantly fruity and meaty at the same time along with some interesting spices for the trip. On the palate, much the same but there is a hint of sweetness that hits you first on the approach. Red berries is more pronounced than on the nose, texture is just lovely, smooth, lush but in a controlled manner. Tannins appear to have completely receded now. A quietly enjoyable bottle that if there was a hint more complexity, I would have enjoyed it more. As it stands, it was just a step behind the burg....but that's likely my preference versus the wine.]]>
