At cellar temperatures and on opening, the acidity is dominant here,
though it's evident that there's some length. As this opens and warms,
fruit comes into harmony with the acidity. Fairly high acidity, good
body, medium-low tannin. A mild pinot funk on the generally nice nose
lasted through the bottle. Spice and high-toned fruit, some mint and
mild heat on the nose. No perceptible heat on the palate. Very nice and
will buy more if it's offered again. |
