Just met a dog breed from Flandres with the same name;) coincidental & solid acidity balanced with tannin. This is a working burgundy perfect for a beef stir fry with strong sautéed red onions. We paired it seamlessly with a lomo Saltado. This Pinot brought subtle flavors to pique. Agreeably to former reviewer that it will acquiesce to greatness in due time. — 7 years ago

Lush dark fruits, bramble, sanguine savory notes that of which resembles Hermitage. Touch of the granite stone and herbal, cured meat dry finish. Delightful — 8 years ago

Natural, light bret...sour patch cranberry and you’ve got a late night treat ahead of you mate. This wine is crying out for Camembert and levain walnut bread; really any fondue set would be super fantastic to accompany this zippy sipper. — 7 years ago
