This was absolutely stunning Pinot Noir. The color is very pale with bricky tones and the bouquet was very expressive and gentle at the same time, red fruit, strawberries, smooth and surprisingly the alcohol was not standing out at all probably due to very high extract. I only have one more bottle of this Pinot, how sad:(. I really liked it. Info from the winery about the extract: 26.2g/l.
