  Elevated nose of red cherry fruit and sandalwood. Medium weight that just dances over the palate. Royal Crowne cherry notes. Dark color but balanced and elegant. Sophisticated and nuanced. Very polished and pure.

  Objectively, this is a very tasty wine. Well integrated, smooth tannins, but unapologetically new world PN. Very fruity, very jammy, with almost no earth or savory notes. If you like that style, you’ll love this wine.

  No notes taken. Fantastic showing. The highlights are the elegance and balance, which are on very high levels. The wines has wonderful luxurious ripe but not too ripe dark cherries at the core with balancing earthy and minerality notes. Not hyper complex but very well-defined, quite pure. Style wise, this is halfway between the category of often sweet and sometimes too polished Californian Pinots and a great Burgundy. Everything is in the right place. It easily won against the Domaine Sigaut Les Chatelots 2020 (92pts) we had in the next glass, which was more weightless but not with the same depthand precision and overall balance. 94/95pts
  
  Decanting: Not decanted, no decanting needed.

  Transparent red. Needs one hour of air. Looks quite thick. Raspberries on the nose. Solid body. Long taste. Has really improved, but may have had some bottle schock last time round.
