This bottle was provided from my cellar and intended for the hour-ish road trip from Omaha to Lincoln. A 50/50 blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from Grand Cru vineyards. This was a showcase for the 2008 vintage showing incredibly bright, white peach, brioche, yellow raspberry and apple fruits. Slightly richer in style but the acid from the vintage pierced through the fruit and autolytic characteristics. It seems to gain power with air but it’s still very primary at this stage. A wine that could easily be laid down for another decade or more.

16.5/20 (91/100) Яблоко, лимонный сок и много сдобы. Довольно тельное с высокой кислотностью. Насыщенное во вкусе. Очень хорошо, но комплексности не хватает.
