Barrel characteristics definitely evident, some nice oxidized character to back up red fruits from the pinot. Long finish. Great.

Had to endure a flight of BdB to get to the black-fruited bubbles. Lovely wine.

I don't understand these wines. I want to given who the importer is, but I just don't. This was really intensely reductive (H2S) on the nose, and seemed to flirt in and out of those aromas with flashes of red fruit for the half hour it was in my glass. There's definitely intense structure here, but does it just need time? Decanting both? I just don't want a champagne that smells like ketchup.

Drank the first sip thinking it was a rose... but nope! Aging nicely with still some red fruit on the palate with some oxidative notes coming thru.
