This was fascinating, but ultimately was not a wine I liked. Sure the nose was complex with notes of sous bois, incense, prunes, dried roses, soya sauce, and touch of musk, but the palate proved to be less digestible for me. I believe it was the combination of rather rough tannins, heavy earthiness, and a hint of discernible volatile acidity that didn’t quite work. Possibly in a dumb phase or even a little compromised by less-than-ideal storage (fruit profile does feel a touch advanced and some orange hues observed). Notably, my fellow lunchers seemed to enjoy the wine.

Roses, violets, lots of spices, a rim that is now discretely bricking, in a medium bodied and very serious pinot. This is seriously good. No rush but accessible now. We like it a great deal.

2008 - slightly taut, fruity. 2010 - incredibly smooth, earthy, delicious!
