This is a bit chunkier and less subtle than past vintages I’ve tasted and loved. This 2016 seems overripe with an uncharacteristically deep ruby color and a bit hot on the palate. Cherry, Violet, dried orange peel, raspberry, a touch of smoke - it’s unmistakably pinot noir but overdone

Pleasant, and somewhat fruity. Went well with veal chops a la Robouchon!
