Palate: medium bodied on the palate, integrated and silky tannins, so fine texture, complexity that goes on and on, deep and sexy raspberry sweet flavour that combines sour touch from acidity
Aromatic and juicy but masculine rather than elegant pinot noir from Burgundy. It is singing harmoniously but I assume that it needs some air before showing its full potential at this stage. As I was sipping, it kept getting better over time. At start I did not like it so much with acidity dominant but it revealed more complexity and got softer as time pass by. Suppose that it should show well from now. A decent bottle definitely.
