Served blind, This was so "obvious" as to its identity: palish but not old colour = 2008. Exotic perfumed highly distinctive nose = DRC. Medium bodied and expansive flavour = Vosne Romanee. A lovely/delicious drink. Very good, not great and with the telltale 08 acidity

Classic, timeless style... Pinot Noir being Pinot noir... Ethereal and delicate in color with loads of energy on the nose and palate... So delicate the rim had a watery meniscus. Incredible wine.

A very convincing argument for why (ripe) stems are a vital part of a ferment

Crazy energy and tension out of the gate inside a delicate balloon skin frame. Ethereal and delicate, slowly revealing wisps of genius as it fattened up. Huge thanks Lauck.

A bit odd in the nose. Grapefruit? Good underlying fruit
