Funky barnyard and leather on the bouquet, a little thin on the mid palate, but still a lot of depth of flavor if not body.

Color of conventional burgundy. Nice nose of wet enoki/oyster mushroom, ripe berries, cedar wood, and barrel fragrance. Taste of bright acidity, wet mushroom, bittersweet, some strawberries, low on tannins, smooth but a bit watery, and a bit edgy sulfate presents itself also. Aftertaste is a bit missing, short with some cherry jam. Nice cherry jam and unbelievable nose of mushroom earns my scores. If you wonder why Pinot can have beautiful flavor of mushroom, try this one!
