Stunning. Profound, delicate but with some concentration. Floral, mineral and beautiful fruit. At the level of a Burg Premier Cru

i would say a polarizing pinot. The nose is very burgundian. Unmistakably pinot. In the mouth allot of spices but also green flavors. Seems underripe? overall for the price I think we can do better but it is too bad this wine has allot of concentration but for me this green taste is turning me off

I opened this because it was leaking in the cellar. It had a fair amount of ullage. Cork smelled a bit of TCA, but the wine was sound. Cherry fruit, grippy tannins and a strong earthy note. It kind of reminds me of Chianti Classico. Not rated as it is atypical given the ullage.
