Well balanced Pinot noir, a hint of ripe fruit because of the 6 years ageing.
I served the wine at around 16celsius.

Very good with a spatchcock chicken and potatoes. Perfect companion with nice acidity and nice floral, long finish highlighted the full flavor of the unbelievable gravy

Estate bottled Pinot without fining & filtration on March 14th 2011 after 10 month barrel ageing in French oak barriques. Wine is medium ruby-red in colour, offering lovely freshness, hints of plum,toasty oak, sweet dark cherries & touch of black pepper in the nose. Medium body w/ elegant acids &well rounded tannins. Good mouthful of straightforward berry flavors, nice balanced persistent finish, developed complexity. Drink now or up to three-five years (87/100)

В начале резкий неприятный животный тон. Потом раздышивается, появляется вишня, слива, черные ягоды. Вкус полный, чуть сладковатый, танины смягчены, немножко гари в финише. Все очень прилично. 16.5/20
