Asian spices, sandalwood, dark cherries and raspberries. Hint of wild herbs. Becomes more floral and open with a few min, but still relatively restrained. Wine is balanced on the palate with smooth tannins and decent acidity for backbone. Lushly textured, rounder. Prefer the George Noellat over this one. — 6 years ago

This baby was balanced, harmonious, and earthy. Nuance and depth in spades. — 5 years ago
2009 in June 2018. Wow, what a wine. Big earth and red fruit, very concentrated, let it breathe for an hour and it’s perfect. — 6 years ago
Slight forest flavor. Plum, various berry and cherry. Deep, not so simple juicy but. Enjoyable. For pastime. 2018 @1350, domaine -, 220709-220805 — 2 years ago
A great burgundy. Rounder fruit (more than red?) and perhaps fuller-bodied than other pinot this age. I think this will age well — but I’m impatient and keep drinking it young! An hour or two of air in tue decanter really makes this come alive. — 3 years ago

We really liked this one. Would be better off if less marked but oak. Might have good upside if cellared for like 5 years. — 2 years ago
