Smells more like old Rene Rostaing Cote Rotie than Pinot but it shows up on the palette. A really good balanced pinot. Just have to be able to stomach the funk on the nose.

Really stemmy and showing its oak at this time. Disjointed right now. Wait a bit for all these to integrate?

Very good wine. Muted cherries at the start then some dunk on the nose and clearer/cleaner cherry available. Should shake off the funk in 2-3 years and become even more enjoyable.
