You had me at the aromatics. It smelled green at first (and mind you when I say green, I mean like back home--the maple grove after a rain; dense, young and fresh; woody and reinvigorated after a storm). After you get into the woods you find the good stuff--the dark fruits, real nice spice... And it ends on a rounded fresh wood character. Dude I was all up in that bish.

2005 vintage. Crazy funky Pinot Noir from the Loire valley just outside of Sancerre. Tart cherry, mushroom, wet earth, and mineral.
