Clear and bright garnet. Nose scared me at first being nothing but dirt. After opening up it gives black cherry, black cranberry, and forest floor (a.k.a., dirt). Medium light on the palate which echoes the nose. Medium plus acidity and sneaky medium tannins. A firm Burgundy-style Pinot Noir that’s a great match for high-end Old World fare or New World salmon, duck, or pork dishes. NV like so much from Champagne, so drink it (up to a year from) when you buy it. — 4 years ago

DAY 1
Poured this with the Vinloq System
👃Bright, underripe cranberry with cherry and ripe dark fruit. Wilted rose florals, potpourri, and minerality. More perfumed with more air
👅Pretty and composed. Silky & delicate with soft tannins. Dry, perfumed finish
“Slow Decanted” the remaining wine in my refrigerator
DAY 9
Again, let this breathe in the glass for 90 mins
👃Appealing bright red fruit that added perfume with air
👅Nice complexity in an elegant Burgundian style. Pairs well with salty foods like cheese or 🍿
This is in a great place now. Well made and a solid value. It was pretty much identical after 9 days of Slow Decanting

Pinot Noir from the Champagne region. Translucent ruby color, cherry nose with a spice tip. Tense mouth with freshness and an almost saline finish and the return of cherry. Light, thin. Finds all its meaning served at 14-16 degrees. No vintage on the label?
Pinot Noir de la région champenoise. Robe rubis translucide, nez cerise pointe d’épice. Bouche bien tendue avec de la fraîcheur et une finale quasi saline et le retour de la cerise. Léger, fin. Trouve tout son sens servi à 14-16 degrés. — 3 years ago
