Boldly and marvelously fragrant, with ripe cherry, blackberries, almond paste, cinnamon stick, and hints of cloves, spicy mint, and warm tires on the nose. Dark cherry, juicy plum, raspberry on the palate with notes of milk chocolate giving way to sharp scratchy mint-tea tannins and a hint of bacon fat emerging with black peppercorns on a long finish. Very well done and interesting. Excellent value

The bottle is empty. Say it ain’t Tissot!! So good, a favorite producer for sure, love it all. This wine has an incredible nose. Clear and strawberry compote.

Mid-week wine ... A Pinot Arbois. A nose with red berries, farm smell with hints of liquorice. In the mouth easy to know it is pinot not bad on the attack but the middle lacks concentration and the final is medium lenght and somewhat drying. You have to like the natural side in the wine to appreciate. Glad to have tried finally but the conclusion is not for me. I like my pinot "clean" without Brett!
