Nose of cherries, earth, pine, palate is cool and composed, maybe a bit reserved, distinctly red fruited with ample spice and stemmy grip. Feels like it needs more time but elegant

I will but every bottle of Bize I am offered. Chisa has such a beautiful touch of finesse and ethereal character in her wines.

This was tasted against Kutch single-vineyard Pinots and I though they won out for sure.

Cool and pretty. In a very good place for drinking now. Placid raspberry and a dark bramble undertow. Good acid. Light and precise

Nose is a mix of aged wet earth, mint, big underbrush, some cherry compote. Palate is kind of messy but fresh. A bit warm. Seems dilute. Off.

Day 1
Served with Vinloq System
Shut down hard. Hint of red fruit but is mostly acid and tannins. Not expressive. Followed 3 hours
No score on day 1

Day12
After preservation/refrigeration for 12 days
Very nice. Still not fully open but not shut down like Day1. Nice cherry fruit but finishes with drying tannins. Youthful. Pretty and enjoyable. Followed 2.5 hours
89 points

Day19
👃Dusty and smoky, candied and sour cherries. Raspberries. High toned. Mint. Floral. Nice
👅 After 2.5 hours this starts singing. Cherries, earth, florals. Pretty, elegant, and lifted. Med+ body. Tannins softer and fine
93 points

Needs more bottle age or “slow decanting” to show really well but excellent upside 👍
