Reductive on first opening. Red cherry, cranberry, and spices. Touches of smoke, dried cherry and forest floor. Light to medium bodied with vibrant acidity. Some astringency initially which settled in with air. Not particularly long. Very good but not exceptional. Drink now or hold.
WSET Notes:
Pale garnet.
Pronounced on the nose with red cherry, cranberry, clove, smoke, struck match, manure, leather, dried cherry, forest floor. Developing.
Pronounced and dry on the palate. High acidity, medium minus body, low tannins, medium alcohol, medium plus finish.
Can drink now but has potential for aging.

This is lovely. Extremely well balanced. Juicy and with gentle spice that layer in nicely. The soft, fine tannins add a degree of elegance that take if beyond what is otherwise a very smashable wine, to a sophisticated pinot that demands you spend more time with it. Very good.

Very pleasant early in the night vino.
Vibrant red fruit and lovely lighter texture.
