Rather astringent and over oaked on first taste. Purple hues.
Plums, black cherry...but still too much oak and astringency.

If you are opening bottle of Pinot Noir, you likely wish to have something that tastes like a Pinot Noir. This is not my style of Pinot Noir, very heavy and dense, more like GSM- Cotes du Rhone or other full-bodied wine.
I reccomend giving it time to open up as well.
Dark purple, dark fruits, leather, chewy a little tight perhaps. Slick, slippery on tongue but still heavy over all.
It's not as candied and syrupy as cough medicine but not entirely distant from it either.
Not a bad wine, but maybe a bad Pinot Noir. — a month ago

This is a nice burgundy from Irancy, a relatively remote Apellation within Burgundy.
Light/medium body, aromatic, cherries, mushrooms, dried fruits, dash of leather, purple to red color. — a month ago
Big, complex Pinot, jammy, fruit forward but not, I think, a fruit bomb. Dark red,purple shades. — 6 months ago
The 2009 is amazing.
No decanting, just opened up an hour or so before dinner.
Stunning Bordeaux. Fabulous fruit and character. If we have another bottle of this vintage, we'll try to push it back a few more years.

good example of what a German, Baden area, Pinot Noir can be. Spatburgunder in German labeling
Light, delicate, aromatic, somewhat more sour cherry and rhubarb than you might expect but still a win. — a month ago
