Black cherries, balance, flavor depth and length. A touch short on complexity. Goes down fast.

Very expressive. Explodes with light strawberry, cranberry, and loads of blood orange. Orange peel all over the nose. Lithe, and fresh. Great mouth watering acids. This really appealed to me. Reminded me of the Albert Bichot Mercurey Champs Martin I had recently. @June's All Day, Austin TX

I dunno. Pretty quiet overall and specifically flat in the mid palate. Root day? Odd spot? I mean, the tart red fruit I expect is there, there's just no dynamic range.

Tense red fruit, herbal, spice. Medium body and balanced. Perfect end to the day.

Dec 12, 2020. Spontaneous US Pinot tasting w/C. This from Last Bottle mystery case. Wow! It’s a winner. Cranberry, mushroom, and slight earth on the nose. Lots going on. Complex with a lot of length. Lovely, subtle and well balanced.
