A nice value in red Burgundy (Pinot Noir) wine from a top negociant. Ruby in color, magenta swirls, clear and bright. The nose has cherries, some sandalwood and a bit of nutmeg. Medium bodied. On the palate, nice, easy drinking, cherry flavors. Short finish. This drinks well on its own and will work nicely with salmon or lighter foods. Drink over the next couple of years.

At or near peak and drinking well. Garnet in color, clear and bright. The nose is great with cherries, slight funk. slight black cherries and spice. Medium bodied. On the palate, bold cherry and some black cherry fruit. Slight forest floor and mushroom underneath. Nice energy and balance. Good finish. This should drink well for another ten to twelve years. Great on its own, this would work well with salmon or a mushroom dish.
Tasted over two nights, it was better on the second. This carries the name Pinot Noir on the label as well. Ruby in color, clear and bright. The nose has raspberries, rhubarb and slight cherries. Also, a slight dill note. Odd as this sees no wood at all. On the palate, the red fruits carry thru if a bit thin. There is a green note especially on the finish. This was disjointed on opening but with air settled a bit. It is an easy going Pinot Noir that is unremarkable in most aspects. It will work better with some lighter food, perhaps chicken salad. Dirnk over the next couple of ye
