I wanted to like this more than I did. A little too bass/baritone notes (dark fruit) and not enough treble (red fruit, florals) for my liking. Maybe too much oak, maybe over-decanted (2 hrs)?

Tart on the nose, this Italian Pinot noses of red and blackberries, earthiness, minerality and some oak. Nice finish and a nice alternative bottle.

Fruity, smoky, more acid than I'm used to in Pinot Noir. Something very Italian about it.. Molto Bueno

Italian Pinot. Minerals. A bit citrus with some lemon. Nose of leather but new. Color of light red. But if you dudes are ever in Brooklyn, Lilias insanely good restaurant. Williamsburg !
