Started out surprisingly tannic and scorchy, but with air it’s softening and the floral fruit is peeking out. But the time my braised rabbit arrives I’m hoping it will be shining.

UPDATE: 2 hours later, it’s much softer and more open. Raising from 8.9 to 9.0

First glass to dry and underdeveloped. Decanted for two hours and the wine is easy drinking. Smothe with a fruit bouquet that leaves you wanting another sip

Nice little starter wine for around $30.

Unusual Pinot noir from Loire. Hay notes and low fruit on the nose yet wine opens to an amazing raspberry body that has a fairly high acidity, deep tannins and a grassy finish. Very nice!

Had the chance to taste this when a stranger poured me a glass at Le Coq Rico, Paris. Amazing.

Pretty and on the grippy side for PN. Perfect on a cool fall evening with a roasted veg salad.
