Smells like dried fruit or flowers. Fruit is lively and pungent but not aggressive. Acidity is solid but not sharp. Finish is easy with a slight edge.

1992 vintage. Fresh Bing cherries, stewed plums, red rose petal, soy sauce, gun powder.

Fine tannins combine with the acidity to mirror the aromas. Long finish.

Absolutely amazing Pinot Noir. Closest thing you'll find to a great French Burgundy.
