Nose has cold lilac's, cherry candy, wet baking spice, grape bubblegum with trailing garden mud.
Palate has perfectly ripe cherry, raspberry jelly, wet river stones and medium acidity/tannins. This wine will appreciate me not touching it for another 6-12Mo. Decanted ~60m.
Picked up slightly less than 2wks ago from off-site storage, but landed there about 2-3wks earlier, so settled enough to keep my wife happy tonight. I like to hold at least one month after it lands back into the home cellar before pulling corks, but doing just fine tonight.

Exuberant nose. Big cherries. Bright. Intense. Spice and flowers. Serious perfume. Gamay gives the Pinot so much lift. Palate is juicy and lush with dynamite fruit and wonderful freshness. Amazing fruit. Complex stoniness. Explosive fruit and lovely refined tannins. Velvety. Showing very well.

Dec 2nd, 2020Gorgeous floral nose with a hint of funk. Lovely cherry and wilted violets. Grapey. Classic Passetougrain. Palate is vibrant, energetic and full of unreal fruit. Awesome freshness and texture with terrific crunch and a charming rustic finish with juicy fruit and tannins. So pure. Just a great mouthful.
