Saint Verny
Puy de Dôme Pinot Noir
Midi, France
2012 - from the Auvergne region in the heart of France. 13.5%. For me it tastes a little bitter for a Pinot.

Rose and bright cherry/strawberry aromas; rose and cherry flavours conplemented by a bit of green stalkiness and a hint of hazelnut.

Decent Pinot, pleasant with mature flavours.

More structured than I've had before for a Pinot. Perhaps as I've more focused Californian Sonoma and New World. Less fruit and quite pleasant fortified tone I think. Slight oak and smoke, hint of Armagnac. That's it, it's Armagnac. Maybe they've overcooked the Armagnac tone a tad.

Dec 5th, 2015Aromas of smoke, resin, red apple skin. Tasting dried fruits, currants, raspberry and red cherry. Enjoyable but drink now on the 2012.

A bit more acidic than a Pinot. Strong raspberry flavor. Nice for cheese and crackers.

Oct 15th, 2015This is amazing for the price. Raspberry and drinks like a $25 bottle. Clean, jammy, balanced with complexity and pure berry from start to finish, very little acid or tannic but still bitter like a raspberry

Very nice red. Compliments the steak ale and Stilton pie well. Needs time to breath before drinking
