Upon opening this is very ‘simple’ - fruit & oak forward. Cherries & vanilla. Very much like a chilled Rioja Crianza. With time more depth emerges & more complexity.
Still cherries, but also undergrowth. The oakiness fades. The nose gains freshness.
On the palate this (with time) sheds the fleshy cherry and gains freshness & crispiness. Surprisingly sturdy & dry tannins for a Pinot. And quite fleshy.
Not a Burgundy, def not a Spätburgunder, still (after some breathing time) quite. Interesting. .
