The perfect perfume from a hybrid of flower and fungi. A strawberry cyborg with meaty core. Stones comprised of smoky dust. These embody the dichotomies of good Pinot. In it come together the disparate physics of the ethereal. There is citrus in the red plum and guava. Copper in the pine bark. Icebergs in the sweltering river. The body is nuanced, quick as live blood, with mineral weight. Cranberry with mint that turns to thyme, to orange, to feldspar. Star anise that becomes a tart strawberry and raspberry interplay. This is a beauty playing the perfect hostess to terroir and desire. A fine bedside wine. The fruits resonate with seemingly endless vibrations between tart and citric, ripe and decomposing. Chalky earth, nitric sky and briny ocean.

Expected earthy and mushroom aromas with touches of crushed violets and red and black berry fruit. Pallet has ripe blackberry flavors with hints of black tea and black licorice. Bright acidity and smooth tannins. Basic Red Burgundy but extremely easy to drink.

Tastes strange for a Pinot. Earthy dark berries cassis? Pretty rough. What goes these days for entry level Burgundy will sooner or later impact the higher end market. How will young wine drinkers who have less $$$ learn about Burgundy wines? Burgundy starts to suck.
