Past its prime. However, when paired with some food, it woke up a bit. These Dufouleur wines have not aged as long as others. They were nice in their youth.

100% Pinot Noir.
Medium garnet with bricked/sun-dried undertone. Clear and compact rim.
Lots of secondary characters showing in the aromas with cured meat, mushroom, old leather, dried cherry. Yet decent amount of fresh (and almost candied) red fruits still very much present.
The palate is less integrated (and probably less interesting). Integrated tannin, medium high acidity, medium bodied, dry. Traces of un-integrated new oak spices, red candied cherry, vanilla seeds, cinnamon stick with some complexity developing in the background.
Overall, this wine confuses me a little with its future direction but at the moment I like it enough to happily drink a few glasses if offered. 90.
