Soil, leaves, mushroom, decay. Light barnyard, soft and savory with almost no tannin. Seemingly very little oak.

Classic Pinot Noir for me, plummy, pleather....crispy and tart. I like -em this way or the few special hallowed burgundies I can't afford let alone access.. Much fuller other spectrum....the ones in the middle confuse me. This one is solid light then their is the Mcoy.
